Thanks Ken, does it use the same ports to talk to Windows Update? The task is to figure out what specific ports I need to allow through the firewall.

The only port(s) that WSUS needs is whatever you setup in the IIS site, correct? So, by defaults, if you use the default website, it would be 80 and 443; and if you use the customized WSUS site, it is 8530 and 8531. Are there any other ports that need to be opened?
