Hi guys. No, it doesn't work for me neither. I have checked in Pharo 1.0 and 1.1 with both: useOldNetwork as true and false.

I have debugged a little the:

Socket ping: 'localhost'

And the problem I found is that after calling "connectNonBlockingTo: hostAddress port: port"

�self primSocketConnectionStatus: socketHandle.

should answer something different thanUnconnected ( 0 ), like WaitingForConnection (1)� or Connected (2)
check Socket class >> initialize

So....I should see in VM side why primSocketConnectionStatus: socketHandle.� may be returning 0 (unconnected).

Now...if I ping

�Socket ping: 'www.google.com'

The result is different as I get WaitingForConnection (1) instead of 0....but it loops forever as I always get 1 and never 2....see the loop

[(status = WaitingForConnection) and: [(msecsEllapsed := Time millisecondsSince: startTime) < msecsDelta]]
�� whileTrue: [
�� semaphore waitTimeoutMSecs: msecsDelta - msecsEllapsed.
�� status := self primSocketConnectionStatus: socketHandle].

in the method waitForConnectionFor: timeout ifTimedOut: timeoutBlock

I will continue to check, but my knowledge in this area is almost nil.

Cheers

Mariano

Hi Stefan,

Mariano asked me to try using that method to set UseOldNetwork.

I only was testing the class method Socket>>ping: from the workspace, and it
always timed out.

It also did not work in the Pharo1.1 image that Mariano asked me to try.

Thanks!
