I have the same problem here (ME too). The problem started when I got my
ADSL connection and after I installed a firewall (Norton Internet Security).
Before that everything was ok.

What I'm now doing is: not using my ADSL connection at the same time, and
even restart my machine after the ADSL logout (necessary). Besides that
turning off Internet Security. It's far from satisfactory but at least it
works for me now. I'll have to explore this further because I need local
Zope and the ADSL connection at the same time.
