Yes. Tell your users to upgrade from Trumpet Winsock 2.0 to Trumpet
Winsock 2.1 or higher. This one bit us hard when we started using newer
kernels. There are a few bugs in Trumpet Winsock 2.0 that make it
do these things with newer kernels. Upgrading makes all the problems go
away. There is a caveat, though - Trumpet Winsock 2.1 has to be registered
within 30 days or it stops working....
