There's got to be an answer

I have seen this posted many times in this newsgroup, but no answers from
MSFT. I see them in here answering others' questions, but no replies to
these questions:



Windows Update v5 through a proxy (ISA 2000) server; the updates are
detected but each download fails. The error code in the log file is:
8024401B. I have searched Google and the MS Knowledge Base to no avail. This
problem is the only one that is stopping me from rolling out SP2 completely.
I have mitigated all other problems.



Thanks in advance for anyone's help.
