Well, how do you like that.
I'm not sure what did it, but I went in to configure the card to see if there would be any settings I could tweak. I change Flow Control from Off to Auto and the Windows update site worked. Just to satisfy my curiosity, I then turned Flow Control back to Off and the update still came up without any problems.
Go figure. The net change is zero but perhaps "touching" the network card by making a change to its configuration (then back again) reset whatever bit or setting was causing the odd behavior.
FWIW.
