add the following adresses to your hosts file, and your good to go.
69.93.201.150 asgs.alleg.net
69.93.201.149 autoupdate.alleg.net
the hosts file is located in C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc,
be sure to make a backup before editing.
THE ISSUE IS RESOLVED, NO NEED TO DO THIS ANYMORE /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

Cool, it works, but I noticed that there must be 2 spaces between the numbers and the names or it doesn't work on my WinXP system.

In computing, a hosts file, stored on the computer's filesystem, is used to look up the Internet Protocol address of a device connected to a computer network, such as your home computer connected to the Internet. The hosts file describes a many-to-one mapping of device names to IP addresses. When accessing a device by name, the networking system will attempt to locate the name within the hosts file if it exists. Typically, this is used as a first means of locating the address of a system, before accessing the Internet domain name system. The reason for this is that the hosts file is stored on the computer itself and does not require any network access to be used, whereas DNS requires access to an external system, which is typically slower.

DON'T EDIT YOUR HOSTS FILE IF YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT YOU ARE DOING!

When a program hijacks the hosts file, it may be necessary to restore it.
1. Identify the location of the hosts file for your operating system
2. Create a backup copy
3. Open it with a basic text editor such as Notepad or Nano
4. Remove all entries for the sites which are hijacked. Some may have been added for legitimate programs. Always be sure to back up your hosts file. MAKE SURE THIS LINE IS IN THE HOSTS FILE:
127.0.0.1 localhost
5. Save the file
6. Restart your computer (Windows only)

Rename the existing file to something like hosts-backup. Open it with notepad or word, add the new addresses, save as "hosts".
If you use word or a text editor, when you go to save the file it will add .txt or .doc to the end. Rename the file removing the .txt or .doc extension.
