0x80072EE2 error displays when searching for updates

I have tried solving the problem according to http://support.microsoft.com
with no success. I believe there are lines missing in HOSTS file :


# Eksempel:
#
# " nnn.nn.nn.nn " rhino.acme.com # kildeserver
# " nn.nn.nn.nn " x.acme.com # x-klientvert

# " nnn.n.n.n " localhost

I have an old XP-CD and updated by Servicepack 1 and 2. Does Servicepack 2
contain all updates - included Servicepack 1 and Is it possible to use the CD
to run the repair program?

You may receive an "Error 0x80072EE2," "Error 0x80072EE7," "Error
0x80072EFD," "Error 0x80072F76," or "Error 0x80072F78" error message when
you try to use the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site:
