Tony,

I had a similar problem in the past (TermLite could __NOT__ connect 
whereas telnet did) and I was able to solve it by replacing the 
WINSOCK.DLL file on the offending machine with a good one (and by "good 
one" I mean I got it from a working Windows box - same version, of 
course :-).

Please mind you that there are many WINSOCK.DLL scattered across the 
filesystem: please check their size against the ones you have on a 
"working" box.

Best,
Roberto
