Apologies if this is already known, I just recently resubscribed to the list.

WSAENETDOWN (10050)

Network is down.

A socket operation encountered a dead network. This could indicate a serious
failure of the network system (the protocol stack that the WinSock DLL runs
over), the network interface, or the local network itself. This error may be
reported at any time if the Windows Sockets implementation detects an
underlying failure.
