[android-developers] SocketException: No route to host

'No route to host' is the message in my customers log.

This is an http download of an image file from a host.

I and others can access files from this server just fine. In fact, the
user can load a page on the same domain from his browser.

I don't control the server, so I can't change anything there.

It certainly looks like it could be a firewall issue, but the user
doesn't know if he has any firewall. It could be the ISP or the server
is blocking his IP. For what reason, I don't know.

So far, it looks like one of those mysterious network errors that I
may never solve.

Any ideas to tell the user to try?
