This points even more clearly to asking the standard questino for any network related stuff - are you running any personal firewall software (other than the one builtin to windows - that one is known not to be so troublesome), bandwidth limiters or antivirus that has network scanning fetures? If so, try uninstalling it (you can first try disabling it, but quite often you need to uninstall all the way). (It could still simply be increasing the number of connections too far, but a broken fw might cause the problem to show up even though it's not really there) //Magnus
