yeah, ironicly this is  a problem with my timout code.  i have a fix almost 
worked out but with Lisa02 this week, and the fact KDE/Qt 3.1 on solaris has 
some bonzo problems I have not had much time.  Ill try to fix that this 
weekend.

There is no real safe way in KDE to detect if the network is up or the host is 
available.
