Windows Update freezes when downloading the "latest W.U. software"

I've had this problem for the last three days. I assembled two PC's and
repaired a laptop and reloaded XP sp2 from an MS disk using our volume
license. The install runs fine. when I try to run updates, the download
hangs at 55% during the download of the "latest Windows Update Software".
This happened on all three machines. I turned off the pop up blocker and
firewall and tried in safe mode. nothing gets by the 55%. IE6 and IE7 same
thing. 1 rebuilt PC, 1 brand new PC 1 laptop with a new hard drive. Please
help!!
