Clean install of Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit) error 8024402F

* Edit - I've redirected to the Windows Update team.* network

After you perform a new installation of Windows 7 using the SP1 64 bit DVD, I get the error 8024402F.

I did this same setup on 2 computers last week and had the same error on both computers.
Things I've tried that don't work:
  • Tried to wear this laptop to my home network to install the updates
  • I tried to run the Microsoft Fix It tool
  • Automatic updates disabled with all the boxes
  • Changing DNS settings
  • Firewall disabled
  • TinyWall installed
  • Installed using .net 4 web install
  • Upgrade to IE9 using offline Installer
  • Tried to run a Bat file that disables and enables services
  • Delete / rename the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
  • System analysis tool
Things to Note:
  • I am able to use Windows Update correctly on other computers very well. Just not those freshly installed SP1
  • Yes, I am able to connect and browse the internet
  • All the drivers seem to be working properly
  • I checked my router and nothing seems out of the ordinary

I don't know there is more that I don't remember.

I did this same process probably a hundred times without any problem using this DVD and goes directly from SP1 to install updates windows 100 +. Only in the last week or two, something has changed on the Windows Update site that doesn't allow me more start installing Windows updates since a disc newly formatted with W7SP1.
Were there changes in Windows updates in September/October? Is there a patch for this?

SUCCESS!

Here's what I found out, see if it works for you as well.

Apparently, my ISP (mediacom) blocked the traffic for Windows Update. I installed a VPN client free to go around them and all updates installed. Now that the machine is updated, I have need the VPN client to the optional updates.

Since version original SP1 was not updated and managed Windows 7 32 bit, I can only assume that update server or the type of traffic for Windows 7 64 SP1 is different. I did not have a capture of packets, so I can't say with certainty.
