Updates stored?

Hi all,

Apologies if this one's already covered, I've done a search but can't find
anything. I'm running 2 PC's on an office network both running XP SP2,
connected to each other via LAN, but only 1 has internet access (this is
deliberate and I need to keep it this way). Therefore I can only download
Updates on the one that's connected. Is it possible to also somehow be able
to update the other PC (without the internet connection)? Does windows save
the downloaded update files anywhere so I could share that folder?

Any help appreciated thanks,
rowets

You can download them from the Catalog and save to be installed later.

Click Add button for each update you want to download. Once you have what you want,
Click the “Go To Download Basket� link. Type in or browse to the location where you
want the updates saved to and then Click the “Download Now� button.
