Wininet Timeouts

Greetings.

We use a library written in C++ to upload files to a given server.
This library is old (I estimate 10+ years) and I could only find
partial source to it.  Judging from the source, it uses wininet.

A few weeks ago, some locations updated to IE7.  Our uploads from
those locations stopped.  I haven't been able to figure out if that is
a direct cause, or just a spooky coincidence.

My question is: does the IE7 update cause changes to wininet that
would start causing problems?  If needbe, I can sift through the
source for our library and pick out what I think is the problem area.

We've tried a variety of registry settings (outlined below), to no
seeming avail.

Any help is appreciated.

Registry Settings:

in [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
\Internet Settings]
DnsCacheTimeout (3 minutes)
KeepAliveTimeout (1 minute)

ReceiveTimeout (10 minutes)
SendTimeout (10 minutes)
