Well it most likely times out because there servers don't respond to ping.
Try a tracert to that ip, open a command propomt and say tracert windowsupdate.microsoft.com
You should see it start to get somewhere then stop responding at one of the hops
As you can see on hop 15 its at microsoft's network, but the end server doesn't respond to ping.
