The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual Basic Standard Edition for Windows, version 5.0

SYMPTOMS
========
Once the RequestTimeout property of Internet Transfer Control is set to 0,
calling methods such as Execute for FTP resource generates the following error:
"Run-time error '35754': Unable to connect to remote host".
Calling Execute for HTTP resource causes error 12002 "Timeout".
CAUSE
=====
According to the documentation, setting timeout to 0 means infinity. This is
incorrect; the Internet Transfer Control does not interpret 0 as infinity.
RESOLUTION
==========
To avoid the problem, do not set timeout to 0.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed at the
beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
