Subject:      ERROR: 10060 - WSAETIMEDOUT.

Hi All,

A few days ago, I tried out the very excellent macro from Richard DeVenezia
found at http://www.devenezia.com/downloads/sas/macros/index.php?m=quotes.
This worked fine yesterday.  Today, I tried it again, and I get the
following error in the log: ERROR: 10060 - WSAETIMEDOUT.

I looked on this site, and it recommended some technical papers on SAS.  I
found the following:

http://support.sas.com/techsup/unotes/SN/009/009533.html

the key text being:

-------------------
ERROR: 10060 - WSAETIMEDOUT.
* Indicates host was found but the system timed out waiting for a
reply. Common when a system is having network problems resolving
hostnames and ip addresses.  Also common on systems who obtain
dynamic addresses like laptops or other removable systems.
-------------------

So, I am working from a laptop that obtains dynamic addressing.  No
suggestion was made for how to work around this issue...

Does anybody know how to work around this issue?  I'm on windows xp, and
i've tried the sequence of commands from cmd:

ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

but that didn't help...

tia,
matt
