Mersenne: Prime freezing when connecting by DSL to Primenet

[RSNFLD]

I am running version 21.4 of Prime.  I recently started using a DSL connection on AOL. ( I am using Version 7.0 of AOL).  Since I started using this arrangement,  Prime locks up whenever it connects with Primenet.  After some delay, during which time everything stops, Primenet reports an ERROR 12031.  The only way that I can successfully report to Primenet, is to connect to AOL using my modem.

This problem occurs when reporting results, getting new exponents and reporting expected completion dates.

Any suggestions?  I can give more details if needed.
