That's what I have too.

Mine connects using HTTP, but then has random network error messages. 
This appears to be MSN connection errors exacerbated by a (not very) 
transparent proxy.

It appears that way. I've verified from several other points and ISPs 
around the UK, with things being fine - except from AOL UK/Talk Talk.

I'm trying to get to the bottom of why the ISP is intercepting and
diverting the MSN port to a bogus connection refused, so far there's a
blanket denial they are filtering/blocking anything and a claim "We don't 
support peer-to-peer networks and request our customers not use them". There's 
something very odd going on there and I don't like the feel of it.

I'm trying to get a time when it's consistently getting problems long 
enough for me to shut down all other connections and log the errors.
