I would start by checking your IE security sttings and making sure you have Java enabled. You may want to temporarily reduce the slider on the security settings to see if you can connect.

2 things come to mind. Do you have Administrative rights on the box, and check your time and date. I have seen the update not work when the date is wrong.
