I have the same problem connecting thru my company Proxy, thru ADSL, thru
dialup.
Then I also tryed to disable the local firewall and the Antivirus programms.

I read that in XP the TCP could not be reinstalled because it is core
component.
Anyway I just discovered I trick that let it work... but it only
complicate the problem:
If I set "trace/net true" before starting the 'read it never stop with a
timeout. 8-|
While if I reproduce the problem (executing the 'read 10 times without the
trace/net) and then set "trace/net true" it stops there:
>> aa: read http://www.yahoo.com
URL Parse: none none www.yahoo.com none none none
Net-log: ["Opening" "tcp" "for" "HTTP"]
connecting to: www.yahoo.com
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! ...ehm ehm... excuse me :-)
