Hi
See if the tip from Karl B/Melvin Salazar works for you:

Subject: Possible solution to the windows update 0x800A0046 problem
Date: Sun, 30 May 2004 12:03:39 +0100
Newsgroups: microsoft.private.xpsp2.general
Firstly, I take no credit for this I was going though the network
newsgroup because my dialup network settings had vanished and a guy
named Melvin Salazar suggested the following which WORKED!
'You can also try doing the following, it worked for me:
Go to Services under the Administrative Tools folder.
Notice that the logon account is set to a NT/User account under the RPC
(remote procedure call) service. Change it to Local System account,
under the Logon tab, and restart the computer. Many of these services
depend on the RPC, but there was an error when it came to configuring
this paticular service.'
Now once I made these changes I was able to get my network icons back
as well as use Windows Update.
Thanks
Karl

If the above doesn't work, try this:
Reset the security settings on the BITS and Windows Update services
and see if it helps:
