For a few weeks now I have not been able to login to any secure websites such
as Discovercard.com, McAfee.com and I receive the error code 0x80072EE2 when
I use Windows Update. After a full format and fresh install of WinXP Pro
Full OEM, I am still haveing the same problem. I have read the Microsoft
Support pages on this error code and none of the suggested fixes have done
anything to remotely resolve the problem. This has never happend before on
previous installs of Windows on this same computer.

I am running a custom built computer by me, so please do not suggest to call
my computers manufacturer. I have allready reinstalled Explored 7.0, reset
all it's settings to default and I have a shortcut to my Temporary Internet
Files Folder which I empty many times a day.

My system specs:

WINDOWS: WinXP PRO Full OEM SP2 V.2002
MOBO: ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe
CPU: AMD 64X2 4800+
MEM: 2GB Corair XMS Extreme DDR 400 W/LED Readouts
VIDEO: 2 BFG Tech 7900GTX's in SLI Mode

I found a remody for this problem. I discovered this was not directly a
problem caused by Windows. If you are useing a Cable/DSL router, log into
it's BIOS and look for a setting called "MTU Size (in bytes)". The default
on my Netgear RP614 was 1485 and I changed the MTU Size to 1500 and it fixed
the internet security problem. I now can access the Windows update site.
