    As a hunch repair your Winsock service stack:

    If using XP Service Pack 2:
    Start, Run, CMD
    netsh winsock reset

    Wait for a prompt to restart your computer. Restart your computer.


    Otherwise:

    Download and run WinsockFix by Option^Explicit: http://www.tacktech.com/pub/winsockfix/WinsockFix.zip
