My phex error log is filled with this same error message that I have copied below. It literally fills the log file with the same message several times per mimute. I have never seen this before, it just started happening recently. I have always been able to search for and download files with no problems using socks connection. My ISP has been known to block p2p traffic but I have always overcome this by using socks up until just recently. Now even though I have optimal connection, I get little if nothing in my search results. Even if I search for a common phrase that normally would return hundreds of results, now it will return maybe 1 or two file at the most. Does anyone have any ideas on what the problems may be? I have not changed anything software, hardware, ISP's, socks servers, everything exactly the way it has always been which leads me to suspect my ISP is responsible. I even restored system back to when it was working fine, but nothing works? I barrowed a friends laptop and connected with my ISP and problem still exists.

error message: (the first two lines are always different depending on particular host)
