No subject

top of my head I'd be looking for a DNS problem, or an incorrect routing
table. But I'm puzzled that ServerSocket is hanging in the constructor - all
it does is bind to a local port. I suggest you get a couple of stack dumps
when the program is 'dead' to show where the two threads have got stuck. Try
explicitly using the loopback address (127.0.0.1) instead of "localhost".
Use "netstat -a" (or the equivalent on your OS) to show whether the port
you're trying to use is free, do an nslookup of localhost, ping localhost
and so on and confirm that other network programs (mail reader, internet
explorer etc) still work.

Failing that - stick to the laptop!

Hope this helps,
Peter H
