Does the IPC try to resolve something using DNS?  If so, you don't
necessarily have a network available so it whatever that service is
shouldn't be trying to resolve hostnames unless there's really a network
around.  Try letting it sit for 30s or so, which is the default timeout
for gethostbyname().
