Because this is a combined DNS + connection timeout, as opposed to a timeout for each that you would get from the OS & libs. And it was there when I arrived. It's not my doing. And besides, it's not 75 seconds. It's 127 seconds, per IP address. $ strace -r telnet 192.0.2.1 1024 |& grep -A1 connect.*192.0.2.1 0.000018 connect(3, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(1024), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.0.2.1")}, 16) = -1 ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) 127.278591 write(2, "telnet: connect to address 192.0"..., 59telnet: connect to address 192.0.2.1: Connection timed out ) = 59 If it's something with multiple IP addresses: > This is one of those "640k ought to be enough..." moments.

That has nothing to do with QNAM. The timeout is only for the socket to connect. Once it's connected, there's no timeout. -- Thiago Macieira - thiago.macieira (AT) intel.com Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ Interest mailing list Interest@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/interest
