RE: This must be the solution for error 0x8024401A!

Hey

When I checked my proxycfg config it was set to direct connection.

I tried with the one used by MSIE which gave me the following :
http://pac.telenet.be:8080.

After a reboot proxycfg gave me the same result but I still received the
same error when loading the WindowsUpdate page :-(

Some other options?

Regards

Joost
