Error 0x80072F78

[Guest Claud]

Hello,

 

I was having the above mentioned error message for the longest time, tried

all fixes suggested by members of this newsgroup and, in the end, found out

that the problem had to do with my ethernet D-Link 260 modem (is no longer

supported by the company so I can't get any help from them).

 

I isolated the problem after connecting a spare USB modem to my DSL line -

the D-Link 180U. So, definitely the ethernet modem is timing out during

Windows Update due to the way it is configured. The problem is that I need

the D-Link 260 modem because I have VoIP and it is ethernet based.

 

Could someone help me fix/configure the D-Link 260 modem so I can get my

Windows Updates?

 

Thanks.
