Hi,
On you workgroup computers, run regedit to open registry editor, navigate to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\windows\WindowsUpdate
Configure WUServer and WUStatusserver as the URL of your WSUS server with the port number.
After configuring, run "wuauclt /detectnow" to force the communication.
In addition to the step documented by Eric, you also need to create/configure the UseWUServer registry value in the subkey
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU with dword:0x1 in order to cause the WUAgent to read the other two values (WUServer and WUStatusServer). If UseWUServer is absent, or false, the WUAgent will continue to update from Automatic Update (if configured to update at all).
Ultimately for full information on properly configuring WSUS clients you should refer to the Update and Configure Automatic Updates Client section of the Deployment Guide.

- There is no web browsable content in WSUS. You "check" the functionality by configuring a client to detect, download, and install updates, and verify that the client behaves as desired.
