You need the ip address where ProxhtppsProxy is running on it.

No!

You entered the wrong IP address. Your picture with your IP address says 192.168.20.129. And you entered 192.168.1.8 in W2k.

Yes.

Send a screenshot of the proxy settings in W2k.

What error are you getting now? 0x80072EFD or 0x800b0109?

Rerun ipconfig under your Xp vm and send a screenshot.

@WULover In the folder you will find the generated certificate. Click on it and click install. Select the second option and click browse. Tick the box below. Then expand the menu at Trusted Root Certification Authorities. Then click Local Computer and then click Ok. Then on Finish. Copy the certificate from the folder to W2k and follow the same steps.

It looks like the certificate wasn't installed on the local computer, or the firewall is blocking it.

Does it look the same to you?

Have you installed Xp's ProxhttpsProxy certificate in W2k as well?

In Windows 2000 this page must be opened: http://fe2.update.microsoft.com/windowsupdate/v6/default.aspx?ln=en&g_sconsumersite

Look at page 103. I have provided a download link there.

You need to run ProxhttpsProxy V1.3a in your Xp Vm. Install the generated certificate into the local computer's certificate store. To find out the ip address of the vm, type ipconfig in the command prompt and write down the ip address. In W2k open Internet Options and go to Connections and at the bottom Settings. Tick Use proxy server for Lan. Click Advanced. Enter the IP address of the Xp-Vm under Secure. And at port type 8079. Install the same certificate that was installed in Xp.

Yes, or you run it in your host system.

There are 2 methods. One would be via Wsus. The other would be to run ProxhttpsProxy on another machine and then access WU.

Yes, but you have to have ProxhttpsProxy running on the host system as it doesn't run on Windows 2000. Edit: The nginx method doesn't work on W2k.

Thank you for your opinion.

Exactly! That's why it also works with IE6. Wouldn't it make more sense to use this version instead of @heinoganda's version since you don't necessarily need the PosReady updates?

Yes I did.

Here:

This means that no additional updates are required to call up and search for updates. When I tried the version from @heinoganda, I got the error 0x80072F78 (with IE8) when checking for updates, which was usually fixed with the 4 PosReady updates. With IE6 I could not open the page at all. The ciphers look like this:

Yes that is correct. ProxhttpsProxy from @heinoganda works without any problems under Win Xp x64, unfortunately you cannot access the WU website because you cannot install the necessary PosReady updates. The version V1.3 is even more "flexible".

Yes it is the same version. It may well work on Win Xp Rtm. Maybe I'll try it.
