What 'period of time' are we talking about for a WebException in .net 2.0?

System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server --->
System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the
connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond

Hi Arne,

The timeout is determined by the WebRequest.Timeout property, for which the
default is determined by the descendant of WebRequest used. You can also set
it to whatever amount of milliseconds you wish, including Infinite (not
recommended).
