Anyway, I uninstalled that software, rebuilt my TCP stack, and all is well now.
Just thought I'd let you know!

Wow, thanks for sharing the outcome of this with me. I wonder if there is anything we can do to detect and mitigate issues like this. I'll be sharing this with our java programmer to see if he has any ideas.
I'm glad you're up and running now.
