I see one time out, this could be the cause of the problem
ev1s-67-15-31-198.ev1servers.net [67.15.31.198] is the one that times out, you may wanna check your hosts file (info on howto in post 1) if anything is inthere blocking it and/or set that one to trusted sites in your firewall and other programs that may block it.
Thanks for your praise
