Re: [Sc-devel] [windows] weak wifi connection puts psycollider into"not responding" state

Hi James

I have a vague recollection that one of the Berkely Sockets api calls which 
converts host names to numbers may block if it can't contact a name server 
but the network is up (if the network is not up it fails instantly). The 
internal timeout is kind of long.. I wonder if you wait long enough whether 
it wakes up again?

Ross.
