Windows 7 can't find any updates

[almoststew1990]

I've recently installed a clean and legit and activated copy of Windows 7 on my PC. I click on Windows update and check for updates and it says "Checking for updates" but it doesn't find any after several hours.

Also, devices such as printers do not automatically download their drivers over Windows Update.

I've tried LAN and Wireless connections. I've tried a Windows Update Service resetting BAT file thing and the microsoft fix.it file. I think it might be a network thing rather than a Windows thing.

No, it just stays on "checking for updates" for several hours and doesn't download any. It's been like it for a couple of weeks (it is at my parents house so I try to make it work whenever I go down every two weeks or so) so I don't think it is a recent thing...

OK I'll do that. Will it be fine on Wireless or will it need a LAN connection?
