web root = d:\inetpub\wwwroot\forums_hotc_com
data dir = d:\inetpub\wwwroot\forum_data
should be:
web root = d:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\forums_hotc_com
data dir = d:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\forum_data
When you enter file paths in windows and you use \ as dir separator, you MUST enter then as \\, because normally \ is considered an escape character by PHP.
I believe PHP is not able to do authentication. If your server requires it you'll need to read up on how to make php's mail function send the AUTH information, by sending some special headers (guess work on my part)
The reason for the time out is simple, php sits on a socket to the SMTP server who in turn waits for PHP to send it auth information. So, php waits for SMTP server indefinately on the socket. Eventually PHP timeouts, and gives you the warning you're seeing here.

Oh, sorry, paths are actually using the "/" as you recommended last time. My mistake, was typing it in in NT terms instead of what's klisted in the config file.

aha 
I've done a little bit of reasearch and it would appear that PHP's native mail function simply cannot/doesn't support SMTP authentication. The only solution is to write your own smtp mailer that would be capable of supporting the particular brand of SMTP authentication your server supports.
Of course, making a suggestion to PHP development team to add SMTP auth to PHP is not a bad idea either

Good idea on the devel team.
Is there a way to tell FUD to attmept to send through a server on a different machine (one where I don't have smtp auth)?

Yeah there is, in your php.ini change the smtp server to one which allows you to send mail without authentication.
