Hmmm, that is a bit odd. Is the adapter that provides internet 
connectivity a normal Ethernet adapter or is it a PPPOE connection to a 
cable or DSL modem?

I assume the 2.0.2 client was working alright from the same computer. 
Perhaps there is a problem with the driver initializing properly for 
some reason. You can try uninstalling the 2.1.0 client, rebooting the PC 
and installing the client again. If this corrects the issue, maybe I can 
find a way to reproduce the problem locally and produce a fix.

Thanks again,
