Sorry ... my writetest line looks like this:
if (open(WRITETEST, ">\\\\$computer\\c\$\\write.test")) {
&doSomething(); }
By using a UNC path ... WINS is called instead of DNS. No, I don't know
the IP. Can't get it either because DSN is screwey.

Subject: Re: Network Timeouts
How about Net::Ping used with
$p->ping($ip, $timeout);
instead of $host... if you know the IP. You don't mention much about
how you are addressing the various machines, and I couldn't puzzle it
out from the "write test" you mention...
