do you have a virus scanner active? It's probably slowing things down. You can try increasing the timeout in tools | options | advanced | general.

Thanks a million, David.  Upping the timeout to 120 seconds and turning off outgoing virus scanning did the trick!

You guys are really a class act!

thx, reopening to resolve as wfm.

My guess is that one or the other would have been sufficient, i.e., turning off the outgoing virus scanner, or increasing the timeout - I don't think you should need to do both...
