Yes, there is a local lan. But no computer on the lan is connected to
the internet. Your suggestion is interesting though. I didn't know
that one computer connected to the internet to act as a local server
to update other internal PCs.
However, this is not an option for me in this case.
All I can do is drop a file onto a directory on the server. The only
network access I have to this PC is through the mapped network drive
method.
I think I may have to manually download the update file to a PC which
is connected to the internet. Then copy that to my USB memory stick.
Then transfer that to a PC on the internal LAN and copy it to the
folder of the remote server. I may need to create a scheduled task to
run a program which will do the antivirus update from the actual
server.
Thanks.
