HttpWebRequest times out on second call

Question

Why does the following code Timeout the second (and subsequent) time it is run?

The code hangs at:

using (Stream objStream = request.GetResponse().Ge

I read the post tagged as answer above and it didn't really work for me above. I ended up rewriting the code using the using tags and added a CloseConnectionGroup segment someone else recommended here. Ultimately this is what the code looks like:

System.Net.HttpWebRequest webRequest = (System.Net.HttpWebRequest)System.Net.HttpWebRequest.Create(imageUrl);
                webRequest.AllowWriteStreamBuffering = true;
                webRequest.Timeout = 30000;
                webRequest.ServicePoint.ConnectionLeaseTimeout = 5000;
                webRequest.ServicePoint.MaxIdleTime = 5000;

                using (System.Net.WebResponse webResponse = webRequest.GetResponse())
                {

                    using (System.IO.Stream stream = webResponse.GetResponseStream())
                    {
                        image = System.Drawing.Image.FromStream(stream);
                    }
                }

                webRequest.ServicePoint.CloseConnectionGroup(webRequest.ConnectionGroupName);
                webRequest = null; 
            }
