[android-developers] InetAddress.isReachable

Has anybody else had any problems using isReachable?

boolean _blnStatus =
InetAddress.getByName("localhost").isReachable(55000);

I have tried unreasonable timeouts (55000 ms) and it never works? When
I use localhost it returns true almost instantly. If I try an external
host (one I know that is working) it always returns false after the
timeout.

I have verified this issue on the emulator, HTC G1 (ADP1) running 1.6,
and an HTC Incredible running 2.2 update 1. I have tried both SDK r06
and r08.

I am completely stumped. This has always worked in the past. Only
recently have I noticed this no longer works. Has something changed in
the API?
