I don't think this is Metasploit bug while I was able to run direct
connection with dedicated PC with no problem.
Host-Only work well or best for connection among Host and other VMwares.
NAT-Mode should never be  used for pentest.
Bridged mode is the only one we should use.
I faced such error in such Bridged mode.

My host OS is XP and I run BT in VMware.
I guessed the max connection limit was exceeded for the host OS to
send such attack traffic to the target I was testing.
Later I thought I needed to do registry hack for XP to increase
concurrent connection limits and not so sure if this would or not.
