I have a Windows XP system that needs to connect to a remote WSUS server to get updates. This system can only access the server through a proxy that requires a user name and password. I don't have the option of setting up a local WSUS server.
How can I configure the WSUS client to use the proxy and also pass it the username and password in order to connect to the WSUS server?

You can't. WSUS and Windows Update don't have this capability. You'll probably have to do something like set up a VPN on the remote system so that it can get to your WSUS server.
