You're referring to this KB, correct ? :

You may receive an "Error 0x80072EE2," "Error 0x80072EE7," "Error 0x80072EFD," "Error 0x80072F76," or "Error 0x80072F78" error message when you try to use the Windows Update Web site or the Microsoft Update Web site
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/836941

You posted " I am not using a proxy. "
Did you try Step 6: Remove the proxy server entry from the WinHTTP proxy configuration

This normally means that something is terminating your connection to WindowsUpdate.
Can you post the windowsupdate.log file here?
Diana Smith [MSFT] <diasmith@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Yes, I have posted the file entries for today after a reboot and another attempt to connect to Winows Update. Just for reference, I noticed the the error has changed. This often happens. Then it will change again. I have already performed all the steps in the KB article for error: 0x80072EE2. Nothing helped. And also, you will notice my location is China. I am a Math professor teaching here for 6 months. I have been able to access Windows update here in China on previous trips, and just 2 weeks ago, with no problem, so I don't think my location is the cause.

Thank you for your help.
:-)

Here is the file.
