This might be a silly question, but since you don't say *how* it fails, are 
you checking the result of GetLastError when the function fails?  Surely 
that would lead you in the right direction.

Is there any chance the problematic machine is trying to use the same IP 
address as (and therefore conflicting with) another machine on the network 
(perhaps via a secondary IP address that is assigned to the network card)?
