Finding a solution for the 0x80072EE2 error
http://www.updatexp.com/0x80072ee2.html

Posted by =Mac=

<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>

Result posted by “tinman�
<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>

Hi ,
I had the same problem and when I changed the MTU for my Netgear router to
1400 as suggested by my internet service provider AOL the problem was
resolved.
Hope this helps someone
