Hi,
i think the Problem is IPv6.
I use Visual Studio 2005 prof. and have the same problem.
You can see the prob. in the sample
<example code>
IPAddress[] hostadd = Dns.GetHostEntry("localhost").AddressList;
foreach (IPAddress ip in hostadd)
MessageBox.Show(ip.ToString());
</example code>
At first you see the IPv6 Adress and the second one is the needed IPv4.
I have deinstall the IPv6 and it runs fine.
Mit freundlichen Grüssen
