Help!

Okay I'm not up to speed these days but was asked to look at a friends computer.

After running windows update several months ago my friend lost their internet connection (actually the connection was fine the computer wasn't).

After restoring to a previous point it worked fine but I want to get the updtaes going again as there are a LOT of updates outstanding now.

Connection is intermittent since I have run the updates and when connection is lost I get the following message

Problem with winsock provider catolouge..
Provider entry MSAFD Tcpip [TCP/IP] could not perform simple loop back Error 10061

I have looked and seen enrtyies about firewalls but this computer isn't running a 3rd party firewall!
 
is it running xp and is one of the updates service pack2? if so after sp2 the windows firewall is now turned on. it could be that whats blocking things
