Re: Win Server 2003 -- 0x8024402C

It's working now...

I tried the fix for the 0x80072F78 Windows Update error of the same nature,
and that did not appear to help. Then I went back later and Windows Update
worked, so maybe it did help. I closed and re-launched IE to test setting
changes... oh well!

1. In Internet Explorer, click Tools
2. Click Internet Options
3. Click the Connections tab
4. Click the LAN Settings... button
5. In the Proxy server section, check that the Address and Port number
are greyed out and have no value listed.
6. On this same window, check the "Automatically detect settings"
checkbox
7. Click OK to exit the Local Area Network (LAN) Settings window
8. Click OK to exit Internet Options
9. Click Start
10. Click Run
11. Type: cmd <Enter>
12. In the Command Prompt, type: proxycfg -d <Enter> <--This will
clear the proxy cache and set the proxy to direct access
13. Type: proxycfg -u <Enter> <--This will set the proxy to autodetect
in the same way that Internet Explorer will.
