The Connection Has Timed Out -- How To Fix It [Tutorial].

A server connection timeout means that a server is taking too long to reply to a data request made from another device. Timeouts are not a reply message: they show up when there isn't a reply and a server request is not fulfilled in a predetermined length of time. A server connection timeout error does little to tell you what went wrong or why the error happened: it just identifies that the error occurred. Timeout errors can happen for a number of reasons. The server, the requesting device, the network hardware and even an Internet connection can be at fault.

Commands Used:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /renew
netsh int ip set dns
netsh winsock reset

The purpose of a server timeout is to prevent a device from endlessly waiting for a sever to respond. Server timeouts can occur when using a Web browser to view a site, connecting to an online service with a game or running a program update, among other situations. A task that has timed out or undergone a timeout is considered incomplete or failed. Essentially, the device that made the initial request for data from another device "gives up" on waiting for that information to be sent when a timeout occurs. According to Microsoft, Internet Explorer defaults the timeout duration at 60 minutes. The timeout duration varies depending on which program makes the data request from the server and can range from a few seconds to a few hours.
