Don Varnau was kind enough to solve my same problem!
It seems like the winsock is busted and needs to be repaired.
Here's the links he sent me. I used the one at spycheck and it
worked.

Depending on your OS, try these winsock repair tools from
http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

LSPFix- all versions of Windows http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.zip
Winsock2 Fix- Win98, ME
http://www.bu.edu/pcsc/internetaccess/winsock2fix.html
WinsockXP Fix- WinXP http://www.spychecker.com/program/winsockxpfix.html
Also, with instructions, at http://www.iup.edu/house/resnet/winfix.shtm
>From LavaSoft- all versions of Windows-

You might still have malware installed and running. Did you use CWShredder
and Ad-aware and Spybot?
See: Dealing with Unwanted Spyware and Parasites:
http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/unwanted.htm for info on these programs and
important security tips.

Hope this helps,
Don
