Sometimes this can be caused by the Microsoft Internet connection sharing (ICS) in Microsoft Windows Vista and XP.

You should check that the function is switched off to do this in windows XP:

Go to the Start Menu then "Connect to:"

Select "Show All Connections" - one of the connections that appears may have a "hand" icon imposed on it, select that connection and then right click on the icon, then select "Properties" from the menu that appears.

Select the "Advanced" Tab from the window that opens. Then uncheck the "Allow Other Network Users to connect through this computers internet connection"

You should then OK all the windows, restart the computer and try Nokia Software Update again.

Shared connections in Vista will also cause the problem, and is indicated in a similar fashion, in the network connections, from the Network and Sharing Centre. 

Shared connections can be made by accident when creating connections.
