This is not a hackintosh issue, in fact it is a common Snow Leopard problem. Solution is:

1- Go to System Settings / Network
2- From Locations create a new location and make the settings for that new location.
3- Voila! Problem (should be) solved. Go to Software Update and give it a shot!

This is my third Snow Leo installation, i have no problem connecting to internet, no problem with network but anytime i launch Software Update it waits about 15 seconds then givas the following error:

Software Update can't check for updates because of a network problem.

Software Update can’t connect to the update server. Make sure you’re connected to the Internet, and then try again.

Any idea?
