Error 0x80072EE2 when using Windows Update

I am using Windows XP Home, with SP2 applied. I have connected to Windows
Update twice since doing a completely fresh install of Windows XP Home.
Other than that, it times out, with the error 0x80072EE2.

I have a laptop with Vista, using the same internet connection, and it
connects to Windows Update just fine.

I have tried adding the suggested sites to the Trusted Sites section under
Security in the Tools section of IE.

When accessing the Update site, you receive the 0x80072EE2 or 0x80072EFD error.
http://update.microsoft.com/windowsu...=en&IsMu=False

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
