Winsock Error 10060: Timeout

Winsock Error 10060 is a Windows socket error code that occurs when a TCP connection attempt to a remote host times out because no response is received within the expected time. This means that when the TCP connection is attempted the remote host does not return any response, either successful or failed, within the configured timeout period.

Common reasons for this include:

• A firewall blocking the server's response.
• An incorrect host name.
• A temporary issue with the server or a network device (such as a router) along the path. You can use a traceroute to help diagnose this.
