Here is what that Hex code is equivalent too.
C:\Err\Err>err 0x80072EFE # as an HRESULT: Severity: FAILURE (1), Facility: 0x7, Code 0x2efe # for hex 0x2efe / decimal 12030 : ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED inetmsg.h ERROR_INTERNET_CONNECTION_ABORTED wininet.h # 2 matches found for "0x80072EFE" With the connection aborted, it looks like a firewall issue, or Proxy issue. Can you put Httpwatch or Fiddler on one of those machines and see what the HTTP traffic is looking like?

XP clients. The one I know of for sure is SP2 and IE6 but reports are from IE7 and SP3 as well. This happens for the clients online insurance web applications, as well as Gmail. I am going to refer mostly to Gmail when describing the symptoms for ease of the description. So, the client cant log into certain web sites. Types in username / password and it just hangs. Or request times out. So I figure OK, Install FireFox. The EXACT same behavior in Firefox. I log into the machine as the domain admin (how has never logged into this box before) the Exact same behavior. The page will not log me into Gmail. I tried the clients OWA, as well as mine, and it works just fine in both IE and Firefox. So, its not an SSL problem, Its not a browser problem (I installed FF), its not a date and time problem. I rebooted the firewall and changed the MTU. Still the same results. Windows Update Errors out as well (I think this is a big clue). The windows update error is 0x80072EFE. No errors in the event logs. Anyone have any ideas here?
