Don't know what that means I'm relatively new to Windows 7?

• Error 80072EFE when you run Windows Update on Win7 so wireless

  You try to run Windows update on a new laptop from Toshiba with Windows 7 installed and a good wireless connection to a router I get error 80072EFE rather than a list of updates. If I connect directly to the router the updated list comes through fine. I can then unplug the router and download updates more wireless.

  Initially I was running tried to reinstall as 32-bit, 64-bit Win7, but made no difference. Tried to update after I just installed Win7 before Norton and other applications on. Contacted Belkin and they gave me a checklist of the router to do, but not better. Someone at - it ideas? The problem is reproducible even with Norton and other installed applications. If you connect the router updates Windows detects the updates to install. If you work with wireless it gets error 80072EFE.

  Phil

  If I connect directly to the router the updated list comes through fine.

  Until you get your wireless connection problems straightened, run your manually check updates when you are connected to the router.
