On this note you can reduce much of the absurd 2 minute timeouts for
network resources by disabling the "WebClient" service in the service
under Manage My Computer (right cilck My Computer). This worthless
service
is for using front page to upload files to a web server. It does not
influence your computer as a "client" to the web.
Disabling this can solve all kinds of crazy network hangups. I disable
it
on every machine. With it enabled, windows tries to connect to a
non-existent, or firewalled web server on every computer it interacs
with.
If this port is firewalled and simply drops packets it takes quite some
time for it to time out...
