Looks like you have a domain restriction in effect.

Your local host may appear to come from a different domain
than the remaining boxes on your lan. Requests from the local
host may have the Inet address 127.0.0.1 and not that
of your LAN. Look at "var/Z2.log" to verify this.

If this is indeed the case, allow "localhost" in your domain
restrictions.

Otherwise, I would instrument the code in "AccessControl.User"
with "zLOG" calls to get all relevant information logged into
Zope's log file (which you need to define with the STUPID_LOG_FILE=<logfile>).

I am not a Windows user and can not give you details how to
define the logfile when used as Win2000 service...
