Couldn't send HTTP request to server 171.67.108.11

I posted this incorrectly to another forum the other day. I'm sorry if this has been dealt with previously. If it has, someone please point me to the right post.

I am having consistent problems getting WUs from Server 171.67.108.11.
My GPU client v6.23 cannot send http request to this server. Yes, I am behind a NAT firewall but it is not configurable except to say that I have port 8080 and port 80 forwarded.
I have no software firewalls at all including the Windows one.
My browser IE8 can get an "OK" response from http://171.67.108.11:8080/ just fine. But the client cannot send the request to this particular server.
After 9 to 11 attempts and anything between 45-90 minutes elapses I then get assigned to server 171.64.65.20, on the same port "8080", and it connects fine immediately.
I am wondering why this anomoly occurs.
I am also annoyed that anything up 90 minutes is wasted after each completed GPU WU before a new WU is assigned.
I've tried reinstalling the client to no effect.
Anyone got any ideas or suggestions?
