Server timeout updating Net 7 proxy

[Willy]

Whatever I do I can't get Net-7 to autoupdate on my laptop. The connection always timesout. Interestingly, after it timesout trying to update the proxy, it updates the client just fine.

I'm having no updating issues on my desktop and I've made sure all hosts files and config files are exactly the same on both machines. They are both running WinXP. This just started happening a couple updates ago, and up until now, i've been able to play with a slightly outdated proxy. The recent update squashed that though. I was stuck on version 1.8.9. Even did a fresh install which dropped me back to 1.8.1. Same problem. At a loss for what to try next.

EDIT; OMG ignore this post. A forced update fixed it just fine.
