Hi, Just to let everyone know that the problem turned out to be that SSL applications on Windows (the TortoiseSVN client in our case) lookup www.download.windowsupdate.com to get updates to the certificate revocation list. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/317541
We operate in an environment with no direct internet access (proxy only) so this request failed and made a 15 second pause on every connection. regards Matthew J Fletcher ********************************************************************** Serck Controls Ltd, Rowley Drive, Coventry, CV3 4FH, UK A company registered in England Reg.
