That would make it unlikely.
The only other option that occurs to me would be some firewall type of
package that's taking a long time to allow a connection. It would be an
odd bit of security software that timed out and then *allowed* the
connection to proceed.
Hmm - it looks like the wireshark network sniffer is available for
Windows (http://www.wireshark.org/) - I'd be tempted to install that and
connect to an external IP and see what packets go where. That will save
a lot of head-scratching.
