hey guys, its me again, and although the suggestion by -BacksideSnap- helped me a lot, I''m still stuck. I don;t knwo why the hell my program is having so much trouble, but my server still drops the connection after it says its connected and my client thinks it is still connected and says it "sends" and "receives" info. How I have no idea!! I think its a conflict with my network settings, since I''m hooked to an ethernet network. Would that cause a problem?? If you need to see any code, let me know, and I''ll post it ASAP. Thanx!! ****************************** "I do not fear computers, I fear the lack of them" - Isaac Asimov Drew Sikora Napali Networks, Inc.

Thanks, Anthracks, but we just solved our little problem. Turns out the reason the server thought it was disconnected was cause we were using the wrong socket to send and receive info!! Gotta love programming....

Thanks anyway.
