HttpWebRequest Issue: System lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full

I am using a service to pull in a list of hotels in the form of an XML document. All of this works fine on our dev server when testing it, however shorty after deploying it live all the pages using this are broken and are displaying this error:

An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked
sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full 91.103.175.187:80

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current
web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error
and where it originated in the code. 

Exception Details: System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: An operation on a socket
could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or
because a queue was full 91.103.175.187:80

Stack Trace: 

[SocketException (0x2747): An operation on a socket could not be performed because the system lacked sufficient buffer space or because a queue was full 91.103.175.187:80]
   System.Net.Sockets.Socket.DoConnect(EndPoint endPointSnapshot, SocketAddress socketAddress) +305
   System.Net.ServicePoint.ConnectSocketInternal(Boolean connectFailure, Socket s4, Socket s6, Socket& socket, IPAddress& address, ConnectSocketState state, IAsyncResult asyncResult, Int32 timeout, Exception& exception) +699

[WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server]
System.Net.HttpWebRequest.GetResponse() +7859156
Laterooms.Gateway.LateroomsGateway.GetHotelsWithurl(String url)
Laterooms.Gateway.LateroomsGateway.GetHotelsByKeyword(String keyword, String orderBy) 
Laterooms.LateroomsManager.GetHotelsByKeyword(String keyword, String orderBy, String lang)

After seeing this I thought it maybe due to the amount of requests being made so I implemented caching but still the same issues are occurring. Here is the code I am using to pull in the data:

    HttpWebRequest request = null;

    Uri uri = new Uri(url);
    request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(uri);
    request.Method = "POST";
    request.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = false;
    request.ContentLength = 0;
    request.KeepAlive = false;

    using (WebResponse response = request.GetResponse())
    {
        using (Stream dataStream = response.GetResponseStream())
        {
            _LateroomsXml.Load(dataStream);
        }
    }

Again this issue only occurs on on our live server. After many hours of debugging and googling I have not come any closer to solving this issue.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

Please don't use that fix. Your problem is you have keep alives disabled, so it's using a different connection for every request, and a port which is then unable to be used again for a couple of minutes. It's doing exactly what it's supposed to be doing.

Enable keep-alive and your problem will go away.
