What do you mean by 'disconnect the network'? Pulling the cable or somehow closing
the socket? If the former, then it *should* "hang", TCP/IP shouldn't notice any
physical disconnects. It's designed to handle it transparently so that you can
fix and re-route in case of physical network problems.

Timeouts should of course work as usual in any case.
