I'm currently working on a Python utility for LAN's, and currently, if I run the program repeatedly, it will intermittently throw this error.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "netbin.py", line 49, in <module>
    results = pool.map(ping, pAddress)
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 225, in map
    return self.map_async(func, iterable, chunksize).get()
  File "/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/multiprocessing/pool.py", line 522, in get
    raise self._value
socket.error: [Errno 64] Host is down

Is there a reason that this issue might keep coming up?

It seems that the machine is unreachable for some reason. Try making ping to the machine's ip – dgsleeps Mar 14 '15 at 04:10
as in my own IP? I've pinged it and it responds in ~.1 ms. – mosquito242 Mar 14 '15 at 05:11
it also sometimes throws [Errno 65] No route to host – mosquito242 Mar 14 '15 at 06:11
Since we do not see your code we can speculate what the reason is. Also, please, provide information about the operating system. – User Mar 14 '15 at 07:37
We're using two Mac OS X's. We basically ended up solving it by just disconnecting and reconnecting to wi-fi every time it happens. – mosquito242 Mar 14 '15 at 09:21
