If you don't have a name server (DNS server) on your local network, your
network profile lists your ISP's DNS server, and you are not currently
dialed in (presuming this is how you get to the network), then gethostname()
and friends (in Winsock) will *always* be slow.
If the above is your case then your PC is attempting to ask your local name
server to translate your IP address to a name. If the name server is not
accessible then it will *eventually* time out, and use the name you entered
in your local configuration.
If you run the example when dialed into the internet (and presuming your
network software is correctly configured) then the getRemoteHost() call
should only take a few seconds.
