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 ;>(.

Cheers
