XP SP2 - SendRequest failed with hr = 80072efd

[nzpcmad]

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 (R) WinHTTP Default Proxy Configuration Tool
Copyright (c) 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?
