Unexpected error using WebRequest

[=?Utf-8?B?T2xpdmllciBHSUw=?=]

Hello,

I try to post an HTTP message containing an XML document, and I get the
following exception :

System.Net.WebException: The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected
error occurred on a send. ---System.IO.IOException: Unable to write data to
the transport connection: Uma solicitação de envio ou recepção de dados não
foi permitida porque o socket não está ligado e (durante o envio num socket
de datagrama utilizando uma chamada sendto) não foi fornecido um endereço.
---System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: Uma solicitação de envio ou recepção

Studio\Lafon\Easy\Process\genereFich.cs:line 9618

It looks as if the underlying socket was closed prematurely. The problem
occurs on a WINDOWS XP SP2 (Portuguese), but the same code works fine on
other computers with the same operating system.

Framework is version 2.0 SP1. The code is executed from within an ASP.NET
web application running on IIS.

The code is :

string _xmlDemande = "<?xml version=\"1.0\"
encoding=\"iso-8859-\"?><demServ><dem login=\"" + _sLogin + "\" pass=\"" +
_sPass + "\" fich=\"" + _sNomFich + "\" typeRepKo=\"" + sTypeRep + "\"
/></demServ>";

byte[] dataToPost = new ASCIIEncoding().GetBytes(_xmlDemande);

HttpWebRequest myRequest = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create("http://" +
_sAdIp + ":" + _sPortHttp + "/demande.xml");
myRequest.Method = "POST";
myRequest.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded";
myRequest.ContentLength = dataToPost.Length;
Stream myStream = myRequest.GetRequestStream();
myStream.Write(dataToPost, 0, dataToPost.Length);
myStream.Close();
WebResponse myResponse = myRequest.GetResponse();
Stream responseStream = myResponse.GetResponseStream();
ReponseSite rep = new ReponseSite();
XmlSerializer serializer = new XmlSerializer(typeof(ReponseSite));
rep = (ReponseSite)serializer.Deserialize(responseStream );
responseStream.Close();
myResponse.Close();
myStream.Close();

Does somebody have any explanation ?
