Symptom of this problem is that after a while of computer of use, all
new connections stop opening, even though old connections stay open.
Observing network traffic reveals that all connections made on local
ports 3127 or higher remain in syn_sent state. This port is used by
the mydoom virus and this makes me suspicious whether the patch
protecting from this virus has disabled local ports 3127 but not
binded them, so Windows still tries to use them.
It is also just as possible that this is an issue at the firewall box
upstream.
