Windows Update Error

Getting error every time running windows update help! 0x80072EE2

I tried the recomended suggestion from microsoft site but hasnt helped any recomendations

 

Can you post a link to that fix so we know what you have already tried. Thanks.

How far in to the download of updates does it get before the error appears?

What kind if internet connection do you have?

 

This what I have done
1. Ran the following commands
net stop wuauserv

regsvr32 wuapi.dll
regsvr32 wups.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng.dll
regsvr32 wuaueng1.dll
regsvr32 wucltui.dll
regsvr32 wuweb.dll
regsvr32 MSXML3.dll
regsvr32 qmgr.dll
regsvr32 qmgrprxy.dll
regsvr32 jscript.dll

net start wuauserv

2. Tried looking in my virus software Norton internet security 2006 found nothing because all sites are basically allowed and I disabled the firewall temporarily
3. Added the following websites as trusted sites.
http://update.microsoft.com
• http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com



4. Also looked at my host file seem fine to

 

Also download seems to go in circles, I have a dlink router mac enabled over cable modem connection

 

Please remove the DLink router, and connect directly to the cable
modem (you will need to reboot the cable modem to gain service).

Now try Windows Update/Windows Update - does it work now?

Re-enable the firewall if you have not already done so!

 

I am not at the device now but why would the dlink router be interfering with it?

 

Some routers have a firewall which could be your problem. Removing it would eliminate this. I guess you could just turn the router firewall off if you prefer to test this theory.

This is going to be a process of elimination so bear with me. I will suggest all I can think of until we get there. Others may chime in with suggestions they have to so hang in there!

 

Got it to work finally interesting I couldn't get a valid IP address when conencting directly to the cable modem. Tried another router still ran into issues, finally changed the ethernet cable pluigged it into the router it started to download updates!

 

Glad you got it figured out. Interested to know if previously you had been able to download updates with the old ethernet cable ok beforehand? Or was this a new set up?

 

The PC was a client of mines that I was fixing that needed to be reformatted with a fresh install. I used a different port on the router, and changed the cable and it worked.
