Look at adding the "Windows Update Catalog" to your Windows Update page by going to "Other
Options -> Personalize Windows Update" then checking the top box. Next select "See Also -> Windows
Update Catalog -> Find updates for Microsoft Windows operating systems". You should be able to
download patches directly to your PC and then distribute them to the others.

Okay the, when you do get that update package, how do you install it
on multiple XP-Home PCs over the network?
