I've had a problem with get/load url with the following configuration: Win
XP with Norton Internet Utilities (NIS) installed, MetaCard 2.4.3, libUrl
1.0.8b1.  The problem occurs if NIS is installed, even if it is
turned "off".  NIS on Win 98 works OK.  The problem I've seen is:  after 1st
socket of session times out, 2nd socket connection attempt fails, although
after wait of approx. 7 minutes with MetaCard (v. 2.4.3, libUrl 1.0.8b1)
still open, a second connnection can be made.

e.reicher at aon.at, the product zoneAlarm may also cause problems on Win XP.
