 * Fine, will do… but in the meantime, is there any way to disable pinging altogether
   so I don’t run into this problem?

 * It seems as if WP has a problem with pinging the particular sites I am linking
   to (mostly pages on Westlaw which require authentication). If I link to [http://www.espn.com](http://www.espn.com)
   or [http://www.amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com) (which other users reported
   having similar problems with before 1.5.2), for example, it works just fine. 
   Therefore, I think the recent revision of post.php solved the problem partially,
   but not all the way.

 * I replaced my post.php with the version you linked to and it still hangs… It’s
   gotta be WP, since the posts without links publish and update just fine. Any 
   other ideas? Is there an easy way to just disable the pinging altogether?

 * I installed manually. I definitely do have v1.5.2. I don’t think it’s my server,
   because posts without links publish and update just fine.
