I have had success using XP and 2003 by simply enabling the built-in
personal firewall before connecting to the network. Then you will be safe
to download your patches.

Microsoft actually recommends, as a best-practice, burning patches to CD and
updating machines before they are connected to the network.

As an open-source advocate, unix zealot, and cynic, I'd like to wonder out loud whether such a CD conflicts with Microsoft's licensing requirements. If it does conflict, I think disregarding the licensing is irresponsible. This may have already been brought up.
