I don't see a timeout for either the dpnet:peer or dpnet:server tests:

http://test.winehq.org/data/tests/dpnet:peer.html
http://test.winehq.org/data/tests/dpnet:server.html

In fact it's green on all Windows platforms for the past 12 runs. Kudos!

I have run both tests manually on my Windows 8.1 laptop. On the first 
run the dpnet:server test caused the firewall dialog to pop up but that 
did not stop the test and it completed almost immediately. A number of 
other tests cause the firewall dialog to pop up but I believe that as 
long as the connections are to and/or from the localhost, the firewall 
lets them through and so does not cause trouble.
