Mate, I can guarantee you if it is the OS, it is something to do with Windows Group Policies.
I built and maintain one of the servers at work running windows server 2008 and its a fecking nightmare,
VM a Win2k3 Server image in ubuntu, put a stable distro of windows in a tight little box where it can't hurt anything. You will lose out slightly on hardware accelerated performance but an MS server will not suffer from it - my home server for Mirage Realms is a slow waste of space box built from scrap work parts running ubuntu and a vm of windows xp and lag is never an issue (unless I decide to hammer the torrents).
Also, IOCP has considerable disadvantages when used with vb6 - get rid of it.
