Trent (and anyone else who wants to play along), what happens if you do this by hand in a current trunk or 2.4 build?:

import socket s = socket.socket() s.settimeout(30.0) s.connect(("gmail.org", 995)) On my box (when gmail.org:995 responds at all), the connect succeeds in approximately 0.03 seconds, giving 29.97 seconds to spare ;-)

C:\trentm\src\python\python\PCbuild>python_d

Sorry that I took so long to run this. It is a little unfortunate that with the last build step being "clean", I couldn't just cd into the build directory and try to run this.

Seems like that was a good thing that I did take so long because it passed in the most recent build :) http://www.python.org/dev/buildbot/trunk/x86%20W2k%20trunk/builds/371/step-test/0

Can you identify a reason for why it times out on the Win2K buildbot? (beats me -- firewall issue, DNS sloth, ...?)

It is possible that this was due to network changes that we are doing at work here. We are preparing for an office move in a couple of weeks (http://blogs.activestate.com/activestate/2006/02/free_as_in_will.html). My eyes glaze over whenever the systems dudes mention VPN, SSH, DNS, VMWare, sub-domains and DHCP in the same breath.
