First the issue:
I have users running Windows who cannot access the website, the browser just
sits there waiting for a response from the server. I can have A Linux, Mac and
Windows person all on the same wifi connection and only the Window person will
have trouble. A look at the apache access.log (didn't look at the error.log at
the same time, sorry) while this happens shows that a typical page load logs
several access.log entries, while the Windows one only shows one access.log
entry. This is not isolated to certain locations, I have Windows users in
different locations having the same page loading problem.
Information on server setup:
I am running Apache2 an Ubuntu Dapper Drake system. It is running a Trac
through mod_python as well as serving SVN. I keep my /etc/apache in version
control, and I have not made any changes to the settings during the time period
this started. The only recent change to setup was replacing the server with a
router (ie give the router the same IP, gateway settings) the forward ports 80
and 443 to the server.
Here is the proper section of the configs files, I don't use .htaccess files, I
have also slightly anonymized the logs:
Non - SSL configuration file:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
SSLEngine off
ServerAdmin <my_email_here>
DocumentRoot /var/www
# Deny default access to everything for security reasons
<Directory />

Deny from All
</Directory>
ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/error.log
# Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
# alert, emerg.
LogLevel warn
CustomLog /var/log/apache2/access.log combined
ServerSignature On
.... snip setting for other services ....

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/trac/login$ https://%{SERVER_NAME}/trac/login [R]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} .*trac_auth.*
RewriteRule /(.*) https://%{SERVER_NAME}/$1 [R]
RewriteRule ^/$ /trac [R]
# Forums

</IfModule>
# Trac setup (current test setup)
<Location /trac>
# Sends request that begin with "/trac" off to the mod_python
# Handler which then calls trac
SetHandler mod_python
PythonHandler trac.web.modpython_frontend

PythonOption TracUriRoot "/trac"
# SSL Authentication

Now here is the HTTPS side of the site:

.... snip setting for other services ....
<Location /trac>
# Basic Setup
