-----------------
require 'Timeout'
require 'socket'
time =5

begin
  Timeout.timeout(time) do
    s = TCPSocket.new("google.com", "echo")
    puts "fish"
    s.close
  end
 rescue Timeout::Error
      puts "Timed out"
end
----------------
I couldn't get ping.rb(stdlib) to work so I tried my own version and it 
doesn't work either.
