no. This problem has nothing to do with the TTL. the TTL is an integer assigned to every packet following the IP protocol, which is decreased each time the packet crosses a router or a similar equipment. When the TTL is 0, the packet is discarded. > If I remember rightly, when a socket in Windows is trying to connect, it > sends 4 connection request packet thingies, with a certain time between > them, and if it doesn't receive an acknoledge packet, it times out. > > Each time a packet passes through a router, it's TTL (Time to Live) is > decremented, if there's a blockage or bad routes, the packet might have to > take an extra long route to get to the other computer. If you increase the > TTL, this will stop timeout's in this situation. nope. if you use linux, the RETRYTIMEOUT can be modified in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ppp0 I think it's also possible under windows, but dunno how. _______________________________________________ ActivePython mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/listinfo/activepython
