For the curious: Sometimes, when I startup Squeak, I do not get these 
timeouts. The timeout seems to be never reached. Then, trying to 
reproduce this, I quit and restart the image, I get nil after the 
timeout (a heisenbug?).

My hardware router (=§$(=!$, in future, I'll build my routers myself 
again - that's the only way to assure that they're working correctly) 
sometimes quits the internet connection. And I think, if the DNS is 
unreachable (without any notification), squeak does not care for the 
timeout.
