The problem I'm having is that RB stalls until it times out - which is something like 60 or 120 seconds. When I try to use HTTPSocket, and set a timeout property for Get, it says the function requries LESS paramters than required.

socket.Get("http://www.koingosw.com/",GetTemporaryFolderItem(),10)

If you drag the HTTPSocket to the Window or use a HTTPSocket Subclass, you could use the events instead. The way that the above approach works is to wait to the end of the timeout before returning in error. With events, you will get immediate notification that the server is unavailable, which could be because the computer is offline or because the requested server is offline/unavailable. Net Stakeout uses this technique and is able to pretty much immediately notify the user when a server is unavailable.
