thanks for your reply Ville.

I'm just curious, but have you tried to use an ip address instead of
"xxx.nonexisting.xxx". E.g 192.168.0.5 (if 192.168.0.5 is not
reachable).
I have only windows xp systems around, maybe it turns out to be a
windows xp problem?

The thing is, it seems to be a problem only on an unreachable local
address. External network addresses are resolved pretty quickly.

As Mr. Hodel pointed out, it may be a resolver issue. One could bind
ioctlsocket() on Windows but I doubt that'd help since the call seems
to block interruptions as well.

As a workaround, I'd suggest not connecting to unreachable local
addresses :slight_smile: [1]
