I use a company laptop for work. Usually, I work from a client site. Recently, this client has prohibited the use of its Internet Access from 3rd party. So we switched to a 3G modem + hub as a solution.
However, my company laptop, which runs Windows 7, is configure to automatically download updates. From what I gather, only updates that have been approved by our own company. Either way, I cannot interfere in the process, since it's enforced by a rule.
What I'd like to do is to insert some rule into the 3G's router built-in firewall. Is it possible? Does Windows Update have some main IP that I can block? Or maybe could I block it through a domain name?
What do you want the rule to do? – soandos – 2011-11-30T19:48:59.943
@soandos, block any traffic to and from Windows Update services. – Bruno Brant – 2011-11-30T20:32:51.823
Out of curiosity, have you talked to your IT department? Do they want you to get these updates? Because if so, changing the hosts file will prevent you from getting them ever. – soandos – 2011-11-30T20:36:40.047
@soandos, no, I don't want to never get the updates, just to stop then from coming when using my 3G connection, that's why I want block then in the 3G router. The address below in SaintWacko answer was all I needed. Thanks! – Bruno Brant – 2011-12-05T12:57:10.697
