I fixed the problem! Problem was SPI on my home router dropping packets.
I have a ZyXel router, new, pre-N, MIMO.
I checked the router logs and they were filled with dropped packets. Reason
= SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) bad packet sequence number.
I disabled SPI, and problem solved!
All XP machines in side the router never had this problem
