Networking Windows Update

[Ricardo Torres]

Hi!

I'm the Administrator of a network with 30 Windows XP
computers. Now there are having some error that MS
promises are repaired with the Automatic Update Patchs.
But, most of these computers have not internet connection.
How can I update all the clients with the very last
version of the patchs?, How can these clients download
the updates direct from my server?.

Thanks
Ricardo
