    Is there a setting somewhere that is used as the over-riding
    timeout for a network connection from a Linux box to any other
    IP address?

    I have a problem where connecting to some machines on our
    network takes a very long time to timeout. This happpens when
    the address being opened is invalid, or the machine being
    connected to has a firewall.

    I want to change the timeout to see if it will make a difference
    to our applications.

    Rob
