This could be a problem with name lookups.  When you connect to the
WWWOFFLE server it will do a name lookup so that it can find out who
is connecting to it.

If the name lookup does not work then there it will timeout after a
while and give up.  I don't know how DNS name lookups are handled on
Win2k.  One thing that you can look at the WWWOFFLE log file and see
if there are any error messages.
