<para>Here you can set timeout values. You might want to tweak them
|
|
if your connection is very slow, but the default settings are
|
|
appropriate for most users.</para>

<para>Here <guilabel>Timeout Values</guilabel> are the length of time
|

an application should wait for an answer from a network operation.</para>

<para> Some applications use <firstterm>sockets</firstterm> to
|
|
communicate. You can think of a socket as a water tap; while it is
|
|
open, water (or in our case, data) comes out, without any interaction.
|
|
If something stops this flow of data, the application will wait for
|
|
more to come. This could be a very long time, but you can configure a
|
|
maximum time for an application to wait with this option.</para>
|
|
<para>This setting will only apply to &kde; applications, of course.</para>
