I'm having trouble getting a script to make an internet connection with my windows xp laptop with a wireless connection. It works fine on my desktop with a dial-up connection;
page = urllib.urlopen(my_URL).read() gives the message; Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Python24/test.py", line 475, in -toplevel- main() File "C:/Python24/test.py", line 393, in main entries = parse_category(cat) File "C:/Python24/test.py", line 366, in parse_category page = urllib.urlopen(URL_CAT % cat).read() File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib.py", line 77, in urlopen return opener.open(url) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib.py", line 180, in open return getattr(self, name)(url) File "C:\Python24\lib\urllib.py", line 296, in open_http h.endheaders() File "C:\Python24\lib\httplib.py", line 794, in endheaders self._send_output() File "C:\Python24\lib\httplib.py", line 675, in _send_output self.send(msg) File "C:\Python24\lib\httplib.py", line 642, in send self.connect() File "C:\Python24\lib\httplib.py", line 626, in connect raise socket.error, msg IOError: [Errno socket error] (10060, 'Operation timed out') I've tried turning off the firewall and tinkering with windows networking properties to no avail. I'm new to python, can someone please help me get a clue :) T sR __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
