here's a start on understanding the layers: http://www.inetdaemon.com/tutorials/basic_concepts/network_models/osi_model/

short answer: any application that attempts to access the internet, for updates, status reporting, fetching, uploading, etc will timeout if it can't get an answer from the target website. Some apps use default timeouts of up to two minutes, so it can seem that the app or computer is "frozen". Same for http, or ftp, or even gateway protocols.

The app will work in its basic functionality, only. Some internet-based apps won't work at all (e.g;

X-Lite).
