A ping isn't good enough, because CC must really connect to calibre's content server. Doing a ping would say that the computer is there, but it doesn't say that calibre is there. There is also the problem that a lot of AV tools prevent computers from answering pings.
I suppose that a successful ping could tell CC to increase the timeout, but a ping cannot replace the "real" connection attempt.
