.NET windows service fails to start when digitally signed

[Ralf]

Situation: .NET windows service

All works fine until we digitally signed the service exe. After that
starting the service often fails (A timeout was reached (30000 milliseconds)
while waiting for the ... service to connect.). I can reproduce this
behaviour with XP x64.

Looks like windows tries to verify the signature and this take too much
time. When I disconnect the computer from the internet, the service starts.

I am not the only one having this problem:

Any solutions?

Thanks for your help

Does the system user have access to the Internet?
