I am having a similar problem on Windows 7 (7.5.6)
The KbdbLog has thousands of messages.
08/12/11 15:11:26 attempt to connect to <
192.168.0.109:49162> failed: connect errno = 10061 connection refused.

The machine is accepting jobs and running fine, but always shows as unclaimed even when I am typing away....
