Question

HttpWebRequest always throws time out exception then run in mono 2.10 under Windows Vista SP1 32bit. The same request completes successfully then run under Microsoft .Net in the same machine. Here follows code:

string url = "http://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/geocode/xml?address=1600+Amphitheatre+Parkway,+Mountain+View,+CA&sensor=false";
try
{
    HttpWebRequest request = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(url);
    Console.WriteLine(request.GetResponse());
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
    Console.WriteLine(ex.Message);
} 

update:

version of mono:
