Thank you for your answers.

I'm beggining to suspect that the problem has to do with a discontinual
of service of the ISP.  It provides me a dynamic IP address not a static
one.

I say this because after some hours, I returned to the computer and
could not acess the internet for surfing port 80 and the socket was also
down again - it just uses another port.

After unplugging the power cord of the cable modem from the internet and
pluging it in after a while, I could already access sites (http).  But
the socket was still down, still with no error raised.

Based on this hypothesis, is there any way for my python program to deal
with this?  Any thoughts?

Thanks again.

Luis
