Updating win NT4.0 server

[GilbertsGrape]

Need advice on updating win nt 4.0 server it was running sp1 and I just installed sp 6 I tried to connect to Microsoft.com but it will not connect to that site I think because it has IE 2.0 installed. If I installed a new ver of IE would it go to windows update and be able to get all patches or better yet how do I go get all win updates and patches for this server?

Thanks

First off, it is not recommended to go straight from SP1 to SP6 you should have at least installed SP3 then to SP6.

Anyway, here's all the updates if you want to do it manually.

If the server hasn't choked by now, you're prolly ok. It's not a set in stone rule, just something picked up from experience. Update away! :D

Upgrading IE is a pain you have to do them all seperately if I remember correctly.
