Thanks Sara (the numpty!)

 

This will usually occur on system startup, when NOD attempts to update before an internet connection is established. It cannot obtain the host name for the update server, so the update will fail - and the error recorded in the NOD log. I hope this answers your question!

Welcome to Wilders

 

I might be wrong but as far as I know what you describe is related to error 11001 (no i-net connection)

 

Ooops! You are correct HiTech

Apologies

 

Not neccesary , let's wait someone confirms , I also don't know what 11004 means

 

With the update function being "gethostbyname", it seems to me that NOD was unable to resolve the host name... which usually for me is indicative of a connection problem. We shall wait and see

 

A full list of Winsock errors can be found at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms740668.aspx

 

Looks like a connection error to me...

 

Opening TCP & UDP port 53 on my firewall solved the problem.
