Do you have access to a DNS server feom your machine? Run nslookup from the command prompt. Does it return the name of a DNS server, or does it say something like "default servers are not available". That could be your problem if it's timing out.

I'm currentry on a NT workstation, using DHCP service. Does anybody know the reason for this and how can I come over it? I should write a program using this module and I must be able to test it on my workstation...
