I did, same thing disable them, same thing. Only time WUP works manually is
when running it over IE6. When IE8 is installed WUP says it needs at least
IE5 to work… 8-/

I presume the winxp machine is using the squid proxy as well? If so, we can
rule that out.
Can you disable the gpos that relate to IE reboot and try again? I just want
to rule them out.

I had some WUP-settings set before the crash. Those only preset the time and
how to run the update checks and installs (I don't want WUP installing
automatically on my servers). I have the same settings set now though. In
fact I tried disabling all those WUP-policies so that the clients would
allow everything WUP, and then tried connecting manually to WUP. Didn't
work.
Furthermore, on a test machine, I uninstalled IE8 and got back to the
standard IE6 you get with WinXP when doing a standard install. Afterwards
the automatic install immediately found updates to IE6, which I installed.
Upon reboot I ran WUP manually, and this worked!
I then installed IE8, and got the error message in the previously attached
screen dump. Uninstalling IE8 again and having IE6, WUP worked again.
Reinstalling IE8 yet again, gave me the error again. Feels like IE8 is doing
something, don't you think?
FWIW, more info: I do have a *transparent* squid-proxy, but the
Windows-machines doesn’t know anything about it, ie nothing is set in
Windows so as to let it know it should use a proxy at all. The transparent
proxy’s been enabled for years now, and the Windows clients, and WUP, has
been working like a charm, using it until the AD-crash. The only thing the
Windows machines know about this firewall-appliance is that it is the
default gateway. As for the services the firewall provides, they are
ignorant as far as I know.
Surfing the rest of the internet works fine; mail, surf, P2P, Spotify, even
Voddler runs fine.
As seen from the screen dump I’ve changed the IE window title somewhat (”...
provided by Skynet-TNG”), but that shouldn’t make any difference should it?
It’s not a user agent string per se, right?
I also have a 1ry caching AD-DNS internally and a 2ry, ditto caching, DNS as
a backup. All entries there are listed ok for all internal clients. The two
AD-DNS machines know about my ISP’s external DNS’s so they can forward
resolution requests properly. Other than that it's a pretty plain-vanilla
setup AD. There are few GPO's set and active.
Insights and hints are welcome! Thanks.

So, if your not running squid, ISA or any other proxy software and you are
connecting straight out ...
