Howdy,

I hesitated to comment because few know less about this than
I, but...

Recently, I had difficulties that seemed similar to those
described in this thread. I had ZoneAlarm installed on one
machine but it was definitely turned OFF. Because it was OFF
I incorrectly assumed that it could not be contributing to
my difficulties.

When I removed it, my difficulties vanished.

All the best,
