I've never seen that port number before, is it correct?

Also, it may be irrelevant but, certain AV's like Norton and McAfee
never cease to amaze by their ability to screw WM in new and
baffling ways, so with virtually any WM problem removing them
seems a good place to start. Even if they are not factors in
this particular problem they are biding their time and
waiting to bite.

As Julian already indicated, the port number you have (421) is almost
certainly incorrect. Where did you get that from?
