Sp1 has the "Internet connection firewall".
to check if its active, open your networks connection folder from the control panel and look for a yellow padlock on the connection you use to connect to the internet. to turn this off, goto properties of the connection, goto the advanced tab and deselect the box.
yes even on dial up you can have the wrong mtu and RWIN size, the numbers are just different.
if you could, please could you post a hijack-this log, and if possible the full specifiactions of your machine, just so we can rule other stuff out
EDIT: i just reread your origenal post and spotted safe mode, I do believe that windows update does NOT work whilst in safe mode.
