Got this bit of info from Roger, and it works for me!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is how I set Norton firewall so I can download updates and keep the
firewall on--
1. Double click on green NIS globe in system tray to bring up NIS console.
2. click on Personal Firewall, then click on Configure.
3. Click on Program tab; in resulting dialog box, under Program Internet Access, scroll down to Microsoft Generic Host Process for win32 services.
a. Highlight the svchost and select Modify... Customize, or Manually configure Internet Access of this application (OK), then click Add, and add the following:-
b. Action: Permit Internet Access
c. Connections to and from other computers
Computers: Only the computers and sites listed below -
Single Address : v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com
d. Communications:
What protocols? TCP and UDP
What types of communications or ports do you want to permit?
. Only the types...listed below
remote http (port 80)
remote https (port 443)
e. Description: Generic Host Proc - Windows Update 5 (or call it anything else
you like)
NB re TCP and UDP - some sites say you only need TCP but I found you need
both.
(got port numbers from www.jsiinc.com/SUBQ/tip8000/rh8022.htm )
4. Now, go into Internet Explorer, Tools, Internet Options, Security, highlight
Trusted Sites, click on Sites... and in "Add this Web site to the zone"
enter https://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.com (NB https) and (important)
uncheck "Require server verification (https:) for all sites in this zone".
Tried the above on their own but found that both were necessary.
Log out of Windows account and back in (or reboot) for changes to take
effect.
Hope this works for you too.
Roger
