Auto-Update problems (with games)

[ares415atjunodotcom]

Been having some troubles with games' Auto-Updates. They just don't work. One says to check my internet connection (which is fine) and the other says:

"* ERROR *: A request to send or receive data was disallowed because the socket is not connected and (when sending on a datagram socket using a sendto call) no address was supplied."

When I talked to my ISP (houston roadrunner) they said it wasn't a problem that had anything to do with them. Tech Support for the games said they couldn't help either. Same problems without a firewall. Using XP Pro.

tried turning of process svchost (by network services) and error message changed to:

* ERROR *: The requested name is valid and was found in the database, but it does not have the correct associated data being resolved for.
