Download via Windows Update not working.

[AWS]

I have a DELL Inspiron 1318 Laptop running Win7 Home Premium, 64 bit. I installed Win7 in Jan 2012. The Windows Update tool in Control Panel worked fine until Mar 2nd, 2013. On that day seven updates for Win7 were downloaded and installed and seventeen updates

for Microsoft .NET Framework 4 were also downloaded and installed. Since then Windows Update has not been downloading anything. When I click on "Check for Updates" I get error code 8024800A. The link associated with this error code is not helpful.

 

 

I'm certain my internet connection is functioning. The Firewall on my Laptop is not turned on. However there is a Firewall on the AT&ampT Gateway in my home from which the internet signal is transmitted.

 

Does anyone have a suggestion?
