Check your bandwidth graph when this is happening. You'll probably
see a huge spike on your outgoing WPN packets. This would indicate
that you are hosting a fake / flooder (secondary) that has sent their
results from someones' search, and you being the priamary they are
served by, your connection just suffered a UDP packet storm that
overwhelmed (killed) your TCP connections.
I keep saying it, and nobody is listening: Do *NOT* trust the patches
and Dll's to protect you from the flooders. You have more than your
TCP connections to loose. Use your own firewall and enter the TCP
blocks I posted before here:
