General connection timeout

[Hairysocks]

Is there a setting somewhere that is used as the over-riding
timeout for a network connection from a Linux box to any other
IP address?

I have a problem where connecting to some machines on our
network takes a very long time to timeout. This happpens when
the address being opened is invalid, or the machine being
connected to has a firewall.

I want to change the timeout to see if it will make a difference
to our applications.
