Another thing to check is where is the delay coming from. A
badly-configured stack on a Windows machine can take forever to resolve
an IP address. See if he can make other connections from home to the
server without the 30-second delay.

My in-depth Windows knowledge has been waning over the years (assuming
Windows is the client), so sorry I can't be more specific.
