You are right, this problem is machine-specific. I tried loading Tramp in Emacs 24.5 on my colleague's Windows 7 laptop (next door office) and it works. Alas, I'm not able to determine what is improper about my DNS settings, if that is the case. All settings seem to be set to default (obtain DNS server addresss automatically) and no network-related applications show any symptoms of improper DNS settings. They all work smoothly (Putty, wget, Firefox, Skype, etc.), both on the wireless at home and the ethernet at work. As a simple test, I tried unplugging the ethernet cable to go offline, but Tramp still hangs. My best workaround at present is to use Emacs 24.3, but that's not a very good long-term solution... The Linux commands in bug thread 20015 do not apply to diagnose the problem in native Windows. Can you suggest some test I can run to analyze what is causing the problem?
