Got Vista Ultimate (32 bit) running on my laptop but when I download updates, only a few install, others "fail" with the error code 80072EFD.

When I go to "help" it is telling me that it's a firewall issue and that I should add http://*.update.microsoft.com and a couple of similar sites to the exceptions list.

I have two questions .....

Why are some updates getting installed if it's a firewall issue?

If it's the firewall, how do I enter the sites mentioned in the exceptions list?

Any input would be appreciated.
 
I can't get any updates on a fresh Vista install, the service hangs at stopping and that's it.

Perhaps they are overloaded with people getting SP1 Beta ???
