Error - System.NET. Sockets.Socket Exception with Proventia.

Having Proventia installed without making an exception for TurningPoint 2008 results in a System.NET.Sockets.SocketException Error.

The IBM Proventia Network Intrusion Prevention System (IPS) stops Internet threats before they impact your business and delivers protection to all three layers of the network: core, perimeter and remote segments. Preemptive protection, or protection that works ahead of the threat, is available from IBM Internet Security Systems through its proprietary combination of line-speed performance, security intelligence and a modular protection engine that enables security convergence.

An exception needs to be made for TurningPoint 2008 in order for it to run in an environment with Proventia IPS installed.
