WSUS Client 0x8024401 error

[Pcbruiser]

The following situation:

A WSUS server on a Windows 2000 Server installed for different servers and clients to provide updates. . However, It cannot found all clients and some of the clients are not fully integrated.

Previously i had a SUS server in use with it no problems so far. Others I have a Windows XP client manually with the latest updated AU client but get the following error from client-supplied diagnostic tool:

WinHttpDownloadFileToMemory (szURLDest, NULL, 0, NULL, NULL, NULL, 

& download buffer) failed with hr = 0x80190194 

The requested URL on this server is not available.

A look into the IIS log reveals the following:

2005-08-22 07:10:10 192.168.3.111 - 192.168.3.44 80 HEAD / selfupdate / wuident.cab 0508220710 200 Windows-Update-Agent

2005-08-22 07:10:10 192.168.3.111 - 192.168.3.44 80 GET / selfupdate/AU/x86/XP/de/wusetup.cab 0508220710 404 Windows-Update-Agent 
2005-08-22 08:28:18 192.168.3.111 - 192.168.3.44 80 GET / ClientWebService / wusserverversion.xml - 200 Windows-Update-Agent 
2005-08-22 08:28:18 192.168.3.111 - 192.168.3.44 80 GET / selfupdate/au/x86/xp/en/wuaucomp.cab - 404 Windows-Update-Agent 
2005-08-22 08:29:57 192.168.3.111 - 192.168.3.44 80 GET / ClientWebService / wusserverversion.xml - 200 Windows-Update-Agent 
2005-08-22 08:29:57 192.168.3.111 - 192.168.3.44 80 GET / selfupdate/au/x86/xp/en/wuaucomp.cab - 404 Windows-Update-Agent

Then a quick look at the server and behold! Under the path:
C: \ Program Files \ Update Services \ SelfUpdate \ au \ x86 \ xp \
There is only one "s" directory is the only directory and file in the "s" directory is "winhttp.cab". No wonder why he does not find the files.

Incidentally, I had to manually do it in the IIS virtual directory, which is based on "C: \ Program Files \ Update Services \ SelfUpdate indicates otherwise, the clients were not even listed in WSUS.

Stand in the WSUS is that the client is listed there, but for some to maintain a status report is not created or can be.

But why is this so? I have to install it again? what wrong? Or some one have similar problems?

This error may occur when access to the Windows Update site is blocked because one or more of the following conditions is true:

• A firewall on your computer
• or local network is interfering with your connection to the Windows Update site.
  
• The Windows Update Web site is mapped to a specific IP address in the HOSTS file on your computer. Microsoft does not recommend the use of entries for the Windows Update Web site in the HOSTS file because the IP addresses for the site can change. NB: This issue has been reported with Internet enhancement programs (such as TweakMASTER DNS) that can add entries to your HOSTS file without your knowledge.
  
• The MTU setting on your router is too high/low.
  
• Proxy server settings are interfering with your connection to the Windows Update site.
  
• Norton Internet Security 2003 may be blocking access.
