40 seconds comes to mind, which is why most of my applications ping a server before attempting to connect to it, since ping has a configurable timeout. If you Goggle the TcpMaxConnectRetransmissions and TcpInitialRTT registry keys, you'll find information about the connect timeouts work. Beware changing the default (or non-existent keys) values, it effects every TCP connection on the PC.
