This is what I found on the Agent website, and I have no idea what most of
it means. What's a "DNS?"

Error reported by winsock: 10060 WSAETIMEDOUT

This means that a connect attempt failed because the server did not respond
in time. The timeout period is dependent on which server type we're dealing
with.

Check the obvious first: check that the destination address is a valid
address. If you used a hostname, did it resolve to the correct address?
(You'll need additional software to check this, most user software does not
provide this information.) If the hostname resolution uses a local host
table (ie, you're using a "web accelorator" type program), it's possible you
resolved to an obsolete address (and this is the biggest reason to not use
"web accellorators"). Can you ping that hostname (additional software needed
again)?

Do you have a DNS configured? Check with your ISP to make sure that you are
set to use the correct DNS. Try a traceroute to the destination address to
check that all the routers are functioning (additional software again).

Also, make sure that you are set to use the correct DNS server.

For the "additional software", if you want to check those options out
yourself, you will need some kind of "network toolbox" application that can
do the listed functions. Software catalogs such as www.tucows.com and
www.download.com should have several listed. Or you can ask your ISP to run
the tests for you.
