Cannot search for updates while windows firewall enabled 8024402C

Hi there,

I am running windows vista home premium and cannot search for windows
updates while windows firewall is turned on, I receive error code 8024402C.
Turning windows firewall off allows windows update to run successfully. I
would like windows updates to be able to run without having to turn off the
firewall.

I have checked the lan settings in internet explorer and it is set to
automatically detect settings.

Any help in solving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
