    If I run my program in a PC without an Internet connection, the
    program halts and I cant do anything with ut but to press Ctrl+Alt+Del
    and close it; I mean, no button responds, I cant close it with the X
    button, it does nothing, it stops working. So I want to be able to set
    the program to stop any attempt to connect after some time and to tell
    what happend or to go on like nothing happend. I hope you can help me.
    Thanks.
