error 0x800C0005

[Sammy Lee]

Dear All,

We find that many of our company's PC can not run windows
update with the error code 0x800C0005

But some of them can run update. So it should not be the
firewall problem.

There is no solution in Windows Update Troubleshooter

Also can not find solution in the knowledage base

Here is the configuration of PC:
OS: Windows 2000 with SP4
IE 6 SP1

Please help, thanks
