From the Windows Update v.6 Troubleshooter:
" Problem description
This error may occur when the client PC tries to resolve a URL for the Update site and is unable to find the correct IP address.
Resolutions 1. Clear your local proxy cache on the machine. Click on Start, and then click Run. Type cmd in the Open box to get a DOS prompt. Type proxycfg -d at the command prompt, and press Enter. Type proxycfg -u at the command prompt, and press Enter. Now try the site again. This should work right away, with no other restarts needed.
2. Try using different DNS servers. It's possible that the ISP's DNS servers are having problems; although if this is the case, it should only be temporary as the ISP should be working to correct any issues. Contact ISP or network administrator for more information regarding DNS configuration.
3. A misconfigured Proxy/Firewall can cause this problem. Double-check the Proxy/Firewall settings. For help configuring Proxy/Firewall refer to documentation or contact the manufacturer.
4. Check your HOSTS file and make sure you do not have any static IP entries for the Windows Update web site listed in the file
Depending on the operating system the HOSTS file can be found in:
Windows NT/2000 - C:\Winnt\system32\drivers\etc
Windows XP - C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc
To view the HOSTS file, you may need to associate the HOSTS file with Notepad. To do so, right-click the file, select open or open with, and select Notepad from the list of programs. If the HOSTS file contains a static IP address associated with Windows Update, comment the entry by adding the # sign at the beginning of the entry or delete the entire line and save changes to the HOSTS file.
Applications like web accelerators, Tweak Master DNS, Spyblockers, etc., can add static IP entries for the Windows Update site into your HOSTS file, which cause Windows Update to fail. "

For the past few days I have been getting 0x80072ee7 errors whenever I attempt to do a scan on windows update. I have discovered today that if I connect to my ADSL router (Netgear DG834) using an ethernet cable instead of through wireless it seems to work. Both connections are protected using the Windows firewall and no other sites have a problem. It was working until a few days ago over wireless and I have not changed any settings on my router or my computer. Does anyone have any suggestions that I can try. I rarely connect by ethernet to my router and this will probably mean that I automatic updates will not work either.
