I have repeatedly tried to run Windows Update on a new installation of Win
XPSP2, from update.microsoft.com. It ends up with "The website has
encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view"
error number 0x80072EE2. I upgraded to IE7 and get the same problem -
except that it completely crashes IE7. I have tried:

Disabling my proxy
Disabling antivirus
Adding update.microsoft.com to my list of "trusted sites"

No luck yet. Also I've tried scheduling updates but nothing seems to
happen.

Thanks. This seems to be a router problem :( Will need to work on this.
