The two timeouts apply at different layers in the networking stack. The connect timeout (I believe) is an application layer timeout used to break when the connection is not established within x milliseconds whereas the so timeout is an ip layer timeout used during the low level read/write of the packets.
To read about these some backround on tcp/ip would help; as well as the java tutorials here<http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/index.html>and documentation socket options documentation here <http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/guides/net/socketOpt.html> .
