8024402C Windows Check for Update error

I *know* I replied to this a couple of days ago! ... the way my connection has been behaving, it musta go lost in the post

My problem was fixed by a reboot and a (temporarily) stable connection - nothing more :)

Please post an IPCONFIG output - it may show some details

Open an Elevated Command Prompt
run the following commands and post the results.

IPCONFIG /ALL
NETSH WINSOCK RESET

(post the results, then reboot and try Windows Update again)


Here are some instructions to make life easier :)
1) To open an Elevated Command Prompt Window (the ECP window), click on Start, All Programs, Accessories – then right-click on Command Prompt, and select Run as Administrator. Accept the UAC prompt.
2) To run the commands easier, highlight the block of commands, and right-click on the highlight – select Copy. In the CP Window, click on the black/white icon at top left – select Paste. The commands will run but may not complete the last command, so hit the Enter Key once.
3) To copy the results... click on the Black/White icon in the top left, and select Edit... 'Select All', and hit the Enter key - then use Ctrl+V or r-click+Paste to paste it into your response.

Please follow my instructions and paste the text - the picture is missing all the critical data.

Sorry Noel , Here it's

Interesting - you're using a HSPA connection all the time?

A default Gateway with an IP of 192.168.98.28 is rather unusual - but it may just be a quirk of your ISP - but there are some other rather strange settings that I don't understand there.
DHCP is enabled - but the Subnet mask is 255.255.255.255 which implies a fixed IP
(and there's a distinct possibility I'm misreading it!)

Either way I would recommend adding alternative DNS servers to the connection - either Google's or someone else's. I've found that the mobile ISP's servers tend to be flaky at best.

I'll see if I can get someone else to give an opinion.
