I have had WinSCP working on our current server (running Windows2003 SP2) for a while, but we are moving to a new server (running Windows2008 R2 Std) and can't get it working. The install works fine, but when I hit Login in the GUI the white window appears for about 30 seconds, no text is written to it, and then the timeout message appears, "Network error: Connection timed out".
I've tried turning off the firewall and our Local Security Policy, but that doesn't help. I followed your instructions to create a logfile on my running server and my new server, but that doesn't help either. The first part of both is the same and then our current server logs the connection and our new one logs this:

I've tried installing V4.3.5 (Build 1463) & V4.3.6. (I was logged in as an administrator)
