System.Net.Sockets.SocketException when using the HttpWebRequest.GetResponse

Hello i keep gettign this error when i use this code

Error:
An unhandled exception of type 'System.Net.Sockets.SocketException' occurred in system.dll

Additional information: An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full

Code:

Dim HTTP_request As HttpWebRequest
Dim HTTP_response As HttpWebResponse

HTTP_request = HttpWebRequest.Create("http://www.google.com/images/logo.gif")

HTTP_response = HTTP_request.GetResponse

the erorr happens every time on the "HTTP_response = HTTP_request.GetResponse" line

pls helpanyone pls?
The code works fine for me. Is there a chance you are behind a firewall that is blocking the outgoing call?

Thanks,

i dont think i block any calls at all, all i have is xp firewall on but when disable that i still get the same error.

now this happens not in all computers, in some just work fine

what kinda trafic should i be looking on this?
Very Odd. I am sure someone has run into this, can someone help? I havne't done much HTML Scraping, so I haven't experienced this before.

What version of .NET your running, maybe something changed in 1.1? No idea just a thought.
Yes is 1.1, I have even reinstalled the framework but nothing. Maybe is something machine related where or like you said some block port. i have to see more of this but man this is driving me crazy.

btw thanks for trying to help i really hope some can give moe some light on this
in case some1 has the same error i got this response in another forum and fixed my problem

This may solve your problem. I had a similar error message but got it when
trying to work with a web service.

First check article:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;815209 ; and use the
enum.exe and info to check and/or change your protocol bindings.

If changing your network protocols doesn't work (didn't help me) then get
the hotfix from:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;826757

You need to call MS and refer to this article. They may not charge you
anything and will send you the hotfix in a password protected e-mail. The
reason it is not publically available is b/c it is still being regression
tested. I was told it will be a part of the .Net 1.1 service pack which I was
also told should be available this month.
