It's working here in a quick test. Nicely done. Could you please post the source code as well?
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
Yep.
I mirrored a copy of the original code on GitHub. While we're talking about it, do you want admin permissions to the PortableApps GitHub organization? (Just so you don't send me a cease and descist letter anytime soon. ;))
Funnily enough, I just emailed you about that. As I noticed /portableapps was taken a few days ago when I set up my github account in preparation to transition some of the PA.c assets there to (hopefully) get more people interested/involved. Great minds and all.

UI am getting time out on any I try running on Win 8.1

The issue I patched was unrelated to timeout. Can you download paping and ping the following servers on port 43 for me? They're all .com whois servers.
Edit: Use paping since Windows can't ping specific ports.
32 bit not working on windows exe
64 bit claims I have a missing dll will check about hour after food

If the paping x86 binary isn't reaching those servers, then it looks like a network problem unique to your end. What's the output of the x86 binary?
a DOS screen then disappears
Got it to work in a DOS CMD Shell and running now

Thanks. That looks fine. Have you tried other WHOIS lookup tools?
http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/whoiscl.html
as previously had ussed an internal program but due t chenges in google it was never updated
Found whodat here and that is all I have used
as it sat on my portable drive and was convient to use with some other tools I use
Prefer to use something in a windows gui and not in a dos command

Well, my question's purpose wasn't to provide alternative software. I was curious to know if other WHOIS utilities are able to access servers from your end.
I am and always have been able to open from website as well as previous whodat. Also seems like if I time out 3 times fourth time it connects...odd and if it works for you and works for John then I say ignore me as maybe it all my end. I do not want to stand in way of progress. Nor do I want my stupidity to slow down progress. I appreciate what you have and have been doing.

I can search a dozen in a row and they all come back with results within about 1 second. All .com domains, no IPs.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I search by ip addresses such as
185.17.25.219
68.71.52.97
37.59.222.3
May the fault has been me all along in not using program the way it was intended?
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” Dr. Seuss
I searched all three of those in a row and got back proper results in about 1 second.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
I have to click search 3 times and get the result on third time after 2 time outs. Perhaps it is TWC in Maine?
If you happy I happy and will cease to say anything.
All other aspects of computer are flawless. I can access whois .arin.net and not have nay issues ffrom web page.
So must be something screwy in my computer and Wndows 8.1
Delete all my comments from Thread so as not to sway any users please
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” Dr. Seuss
Nonsense. You're helping John and I by testing this app. Thank you.
WHOIS utilities operate on TCP port 43. Going through a website like whois.arin.net would work fine since you're on TCP port 80. If you had a chance to try the Nirsoft utility, and it works, that means your network is fine. I'm trying to rule out the your network/TWC/antivirus as the issue by bringing in a second app that does the same thing to see if it works.
Your IRC log from me sent links to screencasts of the issue as seen on my system, it is not that it is not working, just slow. I can live with slow as opposed to No
Editted: Ran the Nirsoft one after figuring how to actually accomplish that.
Appears to work ok. John has results in email to him as brain cramped and ran this site lol
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” Dr. Seuss
I have emailed you a screen capture video of it in action on my system. Ntice in left top the clock widget with secnds for time references
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” Dr. Seuss
I got it and saw what you meant. I just fired up my Win 8.1 laptop and can't reproduce it there, either. All 3 IPs you pasted above work fine.
Any chance it's an antivirus or software firewall interfering?
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
the AV and the Firewall as both are Vipre which I had previously used with older version. BTW figured a way t upload the video to a site so sorry about size. Will play some more. Problem is O may have to permit it thru the FW and AV which sort of kill portableness For me ok But would hate to run system bare especially given when and how I use will get back to you
Edit: Second test run John link to No AV No FW in email hope this clears it up
“Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.” Dr. Seuss
then I clicked search repeatedly and if came back with info on a whois of my ip maybe it just the whois servers acting up?
