Ports needed for Update

I have a machine behind a firewall with only port 80 (tcp)
open, however Windows Update seems to need more than just
port 80.

The error I get is: 0x800c0005

Found a tech document that discussed registering dll's.
Did that and still same error.

I feel fairly confident that I just need to open another
port on the firewall. Any ideas which?

Thanks in advance!

Scott,

Open port 443 also.

For further clues concerning error code 0x800c0005 look here :
