InetAddress.isReachable(int timeout)

843790Jun 18 2006 — edited Jun 19 2006
Any suggestions as to why this works for local addresses, eg. 192.168.0.1 but not for addresses out on the internet, eg. 192.0.34.166? - ie. it returns false for 192.0.34.166 even though I can ping it.

I've tried excessively large timeout values - such as 20000ms, but no luck.
