Windows Update error 8024402C (Windows Vista)

When you are running Windows Update in Windows Vista and resulted to Windows Update error 8024402C just follow the following to resolve this problem. I have also noticed that I can not connect to download.microsoft.com

I have just resolved it and here’s what I did.

I am connected w/ our DSL Router that serves as our DHCP server. Now my windows vista is acquiring an IP address from this Router.

Router IP : 192.168.1.1
My Windows Vista IP: 192.168.1.5 ; gateway 192.168.1.1; DNS 192.168.1.1

Now I’ve changed the automatic DNS (192.168.1.1) to my public DNS (from my ISP) It can be found in your DSL Modem system Log. If you can’t find it, you may ask your Internet Service Provider.

After doing this, Im able to run windows update and can go to download.microsoft.com
