Hi Robert Is your win box between a firewall or is it within the same LAN as I assume your linux/nix boxes.
As I had timeout issues relating to my zope/plone server siting behind my firewall and not in my LAN. I had to increase my ipchains timeouts Thus note I am currently preparing,install/config as new fw(dmz) server to use Iptables In case you'll shout at me ;>(.
