WSUS Installation Problem

[trbyrne]

I am attempting to install and configure a new WSUS installation. I am experiencing problems with my clients not connecting/communicating with the WSUS server. I have run the WSUS Client Diagnostics utility from Microsoft and the results are shown below.
C:\wsus_client_diag>clientdiag

I believe the selfupdate site would connect on port 80. Try

http://ruby/selfupdate

or go into IIS to see if you can brose tha page

Also, make sure the firewall is off on that WSUS server

Firewall is turned off on the server, and I cannot go to

http://ruby/selfupdate.

The WSUS Admin web page is configured for port 8530 on the server and there is a selfupdate virtual directory in the default web page (which runs on port 80) on the server.
