RealVNC completely kills LAN connection in XP SP3

This is strange only because I am running RealVNC on several machines and it works just fine on all of them except one.

The one with the problem, has a fresh install of Windows XP SP3. RealVNC will connect for a random period of time between 10 seconds and 2 minutes, then lock up, lose its conncetion, and then kill my LAN connection on the client side only. The connection to the internet is completely lost until the machine is rebooted.

This only happens when I connect with RealVNC to one particular host. In other words, I have 5 hosts in my address book. It works great with no problems connecting to 4 of them, but this lock up problem happens every time I connect to the one problematic host. All 4 good hosts are Win2k machines, the problematic host is another XP SP3 machine (if that might make a difference). When using any one of the Win2K machines as clients, I can connect to the problematic XP SP3 just fine with no problems. Also, when using the problematic XP as the CLIENT, and connecting back to the original XP as the host, everything still OK. It just seems to be these two particular machines, in the outbound direction, that are not getting along.

- I have tried uninstalling network adapters, resetting TCP/IP using netsh, and pinging. I can ping the loopback, and local IP successfully, but cannot ping the router until I reboot.

- I have no firewalls set up in Windows....and all port forwarding on the routers is configured correctly.

- I have checked the Event Viewer, and there doesn't appear to be any messages regarding this problem.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks
Kyle Parisi
