Just searched all my mail, for some reason I did not get this. I will check the archive. Thanks! >The solution you posted seems to bear no resemblence >to the problem you posted? How does this relate to setting >socket timeouts or using getfqdn()? Initially I was asking about how to set socket timeouts. But my general query was just suggestions on how best to detect internet connection upness. Since I "did not" get any responses to the question in the form of socket timeouts in particular, I resent the question in a more general form. It was that form that my last reply was to address. You are right on what it does. I thought at first it would be best to use something native to the classes/functions I was using in the standard library if possible. The solution I ended up with was more general, but serves the purpose. -Sam _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
