XP SP2 - SendRequest failed with hr = 80072efd

I have XP Pro SP2. This problem has recently started happening.

 

I am behind a proxy which is configured in IE 6. (Connections - LAN

settings - Advanced). I have tried just about everything suggested in

this group - proxycfg etc. - and nothing works.

 

The Windows update log shows:

 

2007-07-13 11:30:44:087 1368 63c Misc WARNING: WinHttp:

If I try and access the URL above:

 

http://download.windowsupdate.com/v6/microsoftupdate/redir/muredir.cab

 

in IE, it works fine.

 

Any ideas?

 

Many thanks

Thanks, but I'd already tried that link.

>From the article:

 

Internet Explorer is used to access the Windows Update Web site?

 

Yes

 

Method 3: Internet Explorer is configured by using a user-defined

proxy server value

 

Yes

 

proxycfg shows:

 

C:\>proxycfg

Microsoft ® WinHTTP Default Proxy Configuration Tool

Copyright © Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

 

Current WinHTTP proxy settings under:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\

SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings

\Connections\

WinHttpSettings :

 

Direct access (no proxy server).

 

C:\>

 

Note. The article states "If you use Internet Explorer to specify a

proxy server, the results of the proxycfg.exe command should indicate

a value of Direct access (no proxy server).

 

True.

 

All ideas welcomed.

 

Many thanks

Just to add:

 

My bypass proxy settings are:

 

http://*.update.microsoft.com*

https://*.update.microsoft.com*

http://download.windowsupdate.com*

 

Also, these logs may help?
