Various Programs Cannot Make Outgoing Requests/Connections (Inc. Windows Update, Zune, Picasa....)
I s'pose this is related to networking, but I may be wrong. So, if I am, here's my apology in advance. Anyways. Here's my problemsIn Zune Software, I can't login to the marketplace/socialIn Twhirl (a twitter client) I can't login to receive my feedsIn Picasa (A Photo Managing Software) I can't login to upload photos to a web albumWhen I try to sync the time server, it can't connectWhen I plug in new hardware, Window's can't connect to find driversAnd Lastly, when using Windows Update, I get an infamous '80072EE2' errorSo, in short, SOME of my programs keep having their outgoing requests or connections blocked. My internet works fine. When I play games it connects just fine. When I use and IM client it works fine. But for these programs...not so much.And the worst thing about it is that it's effecting more programs. Picasa and Twhirl we're working last week shortly after I installed Windows 7Anyways, I've tried a bunch of stuff already:Disabling Windows Firewall, Enabling it with the specific programs allowed through, disabling anitvirus in addtion to firewall, switich the firewall programs, telling IE to auto-detect my proxy (I have none), going thru cmd prompt and resetting the proxy (still don't have one), system restoring to when I first installed the beta (when Twhirl and Picasa worked) only to have them stop workingOh, and I connect to my network wirelessly through a Linksys USB-G receiver, which gets the signal from a Netgear router, which is hooked up to a cable modemSo, to say the least, I'm stumped. And if ANYONE could help me out here, it would be AMAZING. So, thanks in advance for any and all suggestions, help, tips, etc._AMuench

Hi, This issue is very likely caused by the server in your Internet Service Provider. I suggest that you try to connect to a free proxy to see if it helps. Arthur Xie - MSFT
