Vista Forums - View Single Post - Windows Updates continuously failing. (0x80073712)

4.2.2.2 is a public DNS (nothing to see with any ISP)
Your ISP could be forcing you through a broken proxy, therefore no chance to get updates from WU.
When i gave this "possible" solution to some people, some of them told me that Microsoft, itself gave this solution as a possible one.
Now, it is up to you just to try it or use a DNS from your ISP which is working fine. (you may leave blank the secondary)
