A thread discussing this problem on the main forum... I'm not well versed enough on teh internets to know if this guy is correct or not, but from what I do know, it seems he's correct.
Of course you have people arguing otherwise, take it with a grain of salt
Edit: Not saying anyone here is complaining or blaming SE. I linked this thread more because it discusses how your computer eventually connects to the SE servers.
