Windows Update Error 0x80244019 connecting to local Windows Update

I receive Error 0x80244019 in the Windows Update.log when getting updates
from a local server running Windows Update Server. The client workstation is
XP SP2 and I have disabled the firewall. The server is in this building and
there is not firewall or proxy server blocking communication.

Here is the WindowsUpdate.log from the last time I tried to receive updates.
