    Saksham Goyal,

    Can you connect to other sites? If so, Uninstall and reinstall the Dell Software then, try running the update again. What are you clicking on to update?

    I have the same problem. It started about two days ago. I downloaded the latest version from dell.com and uninstalled and re-installed "Dell Update" several times. It's still not able to connect to the internet. That's what the message tells me. All the other network connections (email, web, others) are working properly. To me it seems to be a "Dell Update" problem...

    Looking forward to a solution soon.

    Best regards
    Heinz

    I have this problem too now :-( had it for about 10 days, all other Internet things work fine so assume the Dell software is "confused" - disappointed!  Peter

    Hello,

    Did you ever solve this problem??  Having same problem here with Windows 8.1, Dell Inspiron 15 (3521) laptop.  Have uninstalled/ reinstalled several versions of Dell Update from the Dell website, stopped/started Dell Update Service, went into firewall and created an exception to allow Dell Update through the firewall - nothing helps!   The Dell Update Tray icon just sits in the tray and shows "connecting..." constantly.  Every other program and app can connect to the internet.  Right click on the icon and "Enable Auto-check" is grayed out and has a check mark in it. Also, "Check for Updates" is grayed out.  Strangely, I have another identical laptop and Dell Update works perfectly on it!

    I did a reset on my win 10 and installed the dell update application again, No more issues.
