That's not quite the problem.  The problem is when the physical connection
is still there but the remote server is no longer on the network.  Here are
the actual problems:

1.  Searching for a remote server should not hog 99% of the CPU.

2.  There should be a timeout.  Hello - if you don't answer after 60 seconds
I conclude that you're not there and abort.
