Can you post the code for the pc that hangs?

I have seen one work which on the server side puts the winsock server in a 'waiting for a connection' lor listening loop using .listen()), once a connection is handled and as soon as the server sends the file to the client using .senddata the server side uses the sleep API to wait for a second: Sleep(1000) and then issues .close() followed by a .listen() to wait for new connections. All this is on the server side, not the client. The server actually closes before the client does because the client is still receiving data.

>I have just finished a completed a small program for my applcation. This program consists of a winsock server and a client. I am using this the client and server connection to transfer data from one pc to another. (The data i am transferring are tables in xml format). Now my problem is not transferring the data or connecting the two pcs together. My problem is that when i issue the command oWinsock.Object.Close() the connection is closed on that pc but the other pc which has the connection hangs up. It 's like it is trying to re-establish the connection. I don't know what i am doing wrong.
