I don't think so. I have the same problem on a Windows 2000. I have 
installed Zope 2.4.4 and Zope 2.5. Both worked allright 'till I changed a 
couple of services' configuration option and now they have the same problem.

Lucky you! my authentication popup takes about 25 seconds to show up!

I have the standard_error_message that comes with Zope. Didn't change it at 
all.

Do you start/stop any service before the problem? Maybe it's the same cause.
