XP needs no WSUS client. It sounds as though your asking the system to
contact a networked WSUS server.
The relevant log is located in %windir% and is named WindowsUpdate.log.
Have you checked the Event Viewer, System events, to see if there are
any pertinent messages concerning Windows Update Agent ?
AU uses ports 80 and 443, I believe.
