Name lookups. Something is trying to look up a name, failing and it's
timing out after 60 seconds.

Could be DNS, or WINS (or whatever MS' current name resolution system is
called). It could be either end of the connection too, if for example
something on the server is logging the names of connecting clients.

Try a couple of name lookups (forward and reverse) from each end and see
what happens.
