I'd be interested to see if the problem goes away if you use the VM from http://isgwww.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~raab/squeak/alpha/SqueakNetFix.zip
Background: I've recently had the need to run some heavy-duty collab stuff which used between 10-100 TCP connections connections per second (since we hadn't implemented UDP yet, we just used extremely short TCP bursts of data ;-) That was a lot of fun and it also exposed two fundamental problems in the networking code (as you might guess with these connection rates you get pretty much every impossible situation if you just keep it running for an hour...) One of the problems was rather stupid since the comment said the right thing just the code didn't do it (ouch!) and the other one was a misunderstanding of the WinSock specs on my part (all but two codes returned by WSAGetLastError means your connection is dead and I only handled one of all the "bad" errors). Both were _serious_ problems which sometimes led to endless loops on the Squeak side (which, btw, might explain some of the other effects people have seen with Comanche+Windows). So assuming that this is no Comanche problem this VM might just solve the problem. Please make sure you replace the "right" VM with the above one (some people use multiple VMs and then you might replace the wrong one and wonder what's up - so I recommend searching your hard disk for any Squeak.exe's to see where they are). Please let me know if the above works any better or not. It certainly did work in my last demos (which run the collab stuff between machines with XP and Win2K).
