Software Updates are not working

We have a Windows 2008 R2 server.  I added the WSUS role to this server and downloaded a bunch of patches to E:\WSUS

Then, in the CM2012 console I added the software update point role.   I've tried choosing "Synchronize with Microsoft Update", "Synchronize from an upstream data source"  and "do not Synchronize"

No matter what I pick when I go to Software Library\Software Updates\All Software Updates and run "Synchronize software updates"   Nothing ever happens.   I see no updates at all show up in the console. 

I see this in the wcm.log

remote configuration failed for wsus server. 

I've tried both ports 80 and 8530 and still nothing works.  

any ideas?
