Windows XP/2003 only will make outbound TCP/IP connections using ports 
1024-5000, and takes up to 4 minutes to recycle them. Therefore, if you do a 
lot of 
connections in a short amount of time, you can easily eat that port range up.

Work-around:

The range can be adjusted via a registry setting (yes the KB article 
says Windows 2000, but it works on Windows XP/2003 as well. see: 

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;196271 

I set the registry value to : 65534 and it worked.
