Winsock Win98 / XP

[s8dsw]

I have written a small client/server app in VB6 using the Winsock control. Everything works fine under Win98 but under XP I always get a sckError(9) on the second connect. Any ideas?

I have also tested this under Win2000 and get the same problem. The first .connect is fine any subsequent .connects fail with a sckError.

If you search on microsoft knowledge base there is an article about this, and they give an example of a workaround for winn2k and xp, hope this helps.

I have tried it, and it worked.
