 It does, at least for me on PHP 4.3.10 connecting to a local MySQL 4.0.23
 server on Debian.  It returns a boolean false, and a warning is triggered:

 the connection, for example) it will hang for about 60 seconds then return
 false, triggering a warning:
 
 Warning: mysql_connect(): Can't connect to MySQL server on ...
 
 I was going to suggest that you run a cli test script and trace the system
 calls to see what's going on but then I saw that you're using Windows.  I'm
 not sure if there is an strace/truss equivalent for it (anyone know)?
