How can i update more than one machine at one on a home network

You need to update each PC individually.

Centralized updates are a good idea, but not practical. Microsoft
Software Update Services will only run on a server operating system
(2000 or 2003 Server with IIS). It's not cost effective to put a
server on a home network and it requires a lot of fiddling around.
Centralized update management is basically for large institutions.

The funny thing is that the SUS Server isn't noticeably faster or more
convenient than the Microsoft Update servers that you reach by getting
updates over the web. Even when XP client computers are configured to
accept updates automatically you still need to check them individually
to make sure every thing is working.
