error 8024402C - unable to connect to microsoft sites


Recommended Posts

I have been trying to check my hotmail today and connect to my msn messengers and have been unable to do so. I have been using windows 7 for about a month now and have not really have had any issues except the following..

Unable to connect to msn messengers what so ever -

can connect to live.com but takes a minute to think about it -

can not connect what so ever to hotmail.com or login.live.com

my weather gadget from msn.com weather information will no longer update as well -

Something to maybe do with the hosts file?

I get the following error Windows Update error 8024402C when trying a windows update .

What I think I did was after not installing windows live services and canceling the install it left something weird. . .I tried going back and re-installing it but now windows update no longer connects? could this be the issue <----

anyone got any ideas here or help fix the issue.

Have you opened lots of UDP ports on your router for an app? I did this once for Warhammer Online and couldn't use any MS sites because I'd tied up all the UDP ports :)
