Update error 8024402C on Vista

I keep geting this error on Windows Update on Vista. I have tried everything
recommended by Microsoft to resolve this with no luck. Anyone have any luck
with this issue. Let me know, thanks.

8024402C - When you have a direct Internet connection or connecting to a home
network –

Open Internet Explorer and click the Tools menu, select Internet Options,
click the Connections tab and now click LAN settings.
Under Automatic configuration, select the Automatically detect settings
check box, and then click OK.

Likewise. I said in my original post that I had tried everything suggested by
Microsoft to resolve this, including activating the auto detect settings in
internet explorer with no success.

Sorry, I assumed you had checked your firewall settings etc.

Perhaps you can do a little research :

Something is stopping WU getting through like a firewall, proxy settings etc.
