<snip of relevant part> I was getting the 0x80072EE2 message on a machine this

evening. I never had a problem with it.



I tried all of your suggestions to no avail. However, in a post from several months

ago, someone mentioned an MTU seating on a router. I had upgraded the firmware on my

home router several days ago and left the MTU set at the default of 1500. Come to

think of it, my Internet connection seemed a little sluggish since I upgraded the

firmware.



I reset the MTU to 1492, and voila! Windows Update works again.



I write this post so that someone else doesn't overlook a simple solution to a very

frustrating problem.



Router / Firewall / Wireless Router MTU ==> 1492 or less <snip>

<snip> The problem is with the AOL connection.  Basically you need to amend the MTU

settings of the WAN down to 1400.  You can experiment and see if it works going up to

1460 but it doesn't work past that. <snip>

I too have been getting this error message all day.



This is a clean install of XP Pro with no additional downloads. I have tried

everything at http://www.updatexp.com/0x80072ee2.html and some tips and

tricks from various posts here without any luck. I have no Norton, I'm not

behind a proxy and I'm connected with a D-Link 300G ADSL Modem, no router.



Please tell me there's a secret solution no one has mentioned yet
