Hi,
I have an application running on all pc's in our company. Basically it is a TCPListener awaiting for sockets to connect and on connection performs the required tasks. The app works fine, but while the listener is awaiting for socket to connect several other applications can't start, and even installation of new applications migth hang. In order to finalise the other apps or installations the tcp listener is killed resulting in the other apps and installs to complete.
A scannig of ports indicates that the port used (2000) is free.
The application has two threeads. The listener thread described above and an other thread for managing user interaction using the systray. The listener thread has initially loaded a form, which is hidden while waiting for new sockets to connect.
Here is a some of the code:
Dim ip As IPAddress
ip = IPAddress.Any
tcplistener = New TcpListener(ip, myPort)
tcpListener.Sta rt()
While True
Dim socket As Socket = tcpListener.Acc eptSocket()
Any suggestions will be appriciatd.

Bjorn,
You can let your code run in a timerevent or you can let your thread sleep in the loop.
\\\\
threading.threa d.sleep(millise conds)
////
Now you are probably eating all your processor activitates in the loop.
I hope this helps,
Cor

Thanks for the suggestion,
It is only a few specific programs which fails and the cpu is not busy at all. As I understand I have to wait for a socket to connect constantly otherwise I migth fail to get a connection?
The line "Dim socket As Socket = tcpListener.Acc eptSocket()" is just awaiting a new socket to connect and I can't really se how I can code any sleep functionality into this.

Side talk:
Just wondering how can your client socket detect connection dropped by your
server socket?
(ie., when your tcpListener socket dropped, how can the other side of your
tcpClient socket know about it?)

Hi,
I am working on a client-server app. I can get two applications to talk to
each other on the same machine using 127.0.0.1, but as soon as I try it
using a computer name or actual IP address I get a SocketException: "No
connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it".
On the server I have a listener:
Private m_Listener As TcpListener
m_Listener = New TcpListener(IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1"), 8000)

Hi,
I'm using VB in VS2005 on a WXP SP2 machine to build a windows service
that listens to a port to accept messages. This solution works fine
when a connecting client sends a message, waits for an ACK and
disconnects. We now want the socket to remain OPEN after sending the
ACK, which it used to do on beta2 and older machines.
Does anyone know which property to set or another solution to keep the
socket open after the send.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
