OE Send/Recieve Broken - NOT firewall/av-related

Your server has unexpectedly terminated the connection. Possible causes for
this include server problems, network problems, or a long period of
inactivity. Account: 'isenhart.net', Server: 'isenhart.net', Protocol: POP3,
Port: 110, Secure(SSL): No, Error Number: 0x800CCC0F

Issue summary: as of 2-3 days ago every OE client started breaking with
above error. Mozilla's Thunderbird still works fine w/ same settings on same
PC.
NO FIREWALL, NO ANTIVIRUS AT ALL ACTIVE.

OK, I have all firewalling diabled, and no virus scanning on my test box. I
am recreating what has become an epidemic at this point with users (both via
internet and local lan) of OE6 connecting to my postfix (totally standard
SMTP/POP3) server. The same accounts/connection settings work EVERY TIME if
I/they use Thunderbird (0.6 version atm) and my HTML webmail interface is
fine too.

This smells VERY much like an auto-update that has been pushed in the last
few days that is killing OE6. Does anyone have any information? PLEASE
don't point me to AV/Firewall disabling instructions. BELIEVE ME I read a
TON before I post and this isn't the issue. There is no AV client installed
and no third party firewall. XP's firewall is verified to be disabled and
red-lighting as a security problem.

PLEASE HELP!!!!
