You could possibly found them already but still I would give it a try.
And did you restart the server since first problem notice?
I dont have proxy enable, any other idea thank you

Hi MarioQuin,

I was just able to resolve this by doing the following on one of my 2008 boxes:

removing "WindowsUpdate" key from:

HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate

as this contained references to another server on the network (we don't have WSUS setup)

Restarted the Windows Update server after this and the updates started working.
Sorry that should be Windows Update Service, not server - but either would work I guess.
Thank you Benthomas!!!  I had the same problem and couldn't find the answer anywhere!
