No Internet Connection when update?

I bought McAfee Internet Security 2009 for 3 PCs, installed to my laptop with WinXP and tried to have it updated. Each time hit UPDATE, it shows NO INTERNET CONNECTION:(. But I didn't have no problem access internet with explorer 7. Also, tried to re-install but didn't work.
Anybody had this issue before?
Thanks in advance!

please try this:

- click START, then RUN
- type in CMD
- on the Command Prompt, type in "ping download.mcafee.com" (without the quotes)
- please post the results here

also, by any chance, you have other security software installed in the past? (i.e Norton). if you do, please do a search and delete any 3rd party software folders.

keep us posted..
