I don't know exactly what this means but here are a few suggestions...

-Do you have a firewall (like Zonalarm)? If so check that MWS has access to Internet, otherwise it won't work
-Try reinstalling MWS (I know, but sometimes it is just what the damn thing needs to get working again)
-If you are looking for updates, check the site, they offer updates for those who can't use the Autoupdater

Hope this helped (a little)

Well, u could try shutting that down and then try doing the updater:

-if the updater works, then u know it's the firewall and then u can look for a solution there (I'm not that familiar with that program, but I'll try.. )

-if it still doesn't work, we'll have to look somewere else for the solution

Try it and post back what happened, ok?
