I've just join the group today searching for the answer to the same problem as you.
I've read dozens of post and will try some of this: - at the en of this post https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!searchin/web2py/service$20windows/web2py/j-NT5gsMasE/SQV3g-kHHp8J[1-25]is described a posible solution - others talk about the need to install Mark Hammond's Win32 Extensions, though it seems if for another service problem (not the timeout one we both have): http://starship.python.net/~skippy/win32/ http://python.net/crew/mhammond/win32/Downloads.html - some wrote that password='<recycle>' should be written in Window like password="<recycle>" BTW: I'm trying at W2000Professional and W2000Server.
