So it looks like it might be the OS jumping in and messing things up. I'm going to pick through a capture file and see if this is what happened yesterday when running banner and smb-enum-shares.
It's pretty common to see the Winsock layer get corrupted in some way and produce the "operation can not be performed on something that isn't a socket" error. I guess it's a stretch but your Winsock keys may be corrupted. You can try deleting HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/Winsock and Winsock2, rebooting (they will be remade), and then running on the command prompt "netsh interface ip reset log". This isn't a complete reset of all things Winsock related but it's a pretty good start. An even more comprehensive thing to do would be to unregister/reregister the networking related DLLs, uninstall TCP/IP (it can be done) and reinstall it. I can detail those steps for you if you think this problem might be corruption related rather than Windows idiocy.
