A hard coded address will of course fail if it cannot be reached.
The code was an example, you should use it as such.  I substituted my 
router's ip for google's and it works.;)

Choose a different address that would not fail in a specific
situation.   

As another example, one could read their /etc/resolve file to get
the dns server that is assigned.
