Is this of any use to you (for example)?

  http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qabstractsocket.html#waitForConnected

Alternatively you could always start a QTimer before the time-consuming method, e.g.

  http://doc.trolltech.com/4.4/qtimer.html#singleShot

and once it fires (signal 'timeout'), check in your slot if the time-consuming method is still not finished, and if not, terminate it. The QTimer lets you set any timeout you wish.

Cheers, Oliver
