This is not embarrassing at all, at least not for me :-)
This is a simulation of the worse case scenario. So now you have an idea of what happens if Brocap dies.
The script tries to open a socket to the brocap server to check if it is alive. It waits for a maximum of 10 seconds. If there is no answer, it assumes brocap is dead and life goes on.
To solve the specific problem make sure that PHP has the permission to access the network. It requires the possibility to communicate on port 80 (the standard web port) of the brocap server. I have checked the server logs and there has been no access from austria-360.at

Thank you for test driving brocap on your site. On the detection side I have corrected the DevalVR detection (see my answer to Fiero later).
