Question : Socket Error 10049

Windows2000 PC Client Machines access the Internet via a Wingate 4 Proxy Server running on NT4 SP6.  Lately these 2 clients have been getting a lot of "Socket Error 10049" messages when using the proxy as a gateway, but would connect to sites effectively when 'bypassing' the proxy by changing their settings to "Auto Detect" instead of "Proxy Server" in the Connection setup screen.  Please note that this have only been happening for the last 3 weeks or so and seems to become more and more of a problem (happens more frequently).  I have done online scans using Trend's online scan, but didn't find any viruses...

Any idea's please??
