I cannot find a way to set the timeout for connectiong to worlds.

This is not normally a problem, but today I am sitting is the library in Sydney.

This may be a problem due to restrictions but I think that the connection may be timing out because it is trying to connect to an english server. The server (discworld.imaginary.com) works fine if you connect to it from my home in sunny old England, using mushclient.

Mushclient successfuly manages to find the ip address but then times out (error: 10060) while connecting to the ip address..

Faux, from Discworld. Feel free to come talk to me =)

It is very likely that they are simply restricting non-standard ports. Finding the IP address would be allowed (because that is part of normal web browsing) but they probably disable most other ports.

If their disabling is to ignore the packet rather than send back a rejection ICMP message, then it will time-out.

There's not much you can do about it, except maybe query the library staff to see if this is the case.

The actual packet travel time should not be an issue - I regularly connect to places all around the world from Melbourne.
