Board index » delphi » Tserver and Tclient Socket freezing!

Please explain to me why or how to fix the problem.
I am having two machines. One running a Tserversocket program and the second
is using a Tclient Socket to connect to the server.
if the socket is open for a while (more than 10 minutes) and if I try to
send a message from the client to the server, the server will not answer and
if I retry again for 2 or 3 the server will start answering like the normal
way.
It seems like the socket will go in a sleep mode. I don't know why? is there
any properties that I need to set on the server side? is it related to the
operating system?
Please help.
Thank you!

difference in how the socket is handled.

Are you running through a firewall?
I have problems myself when using firewall, where I have no problem
using direct pc to pc connection (using same program)
Maybe your firewall has some timeout periode that needs adjustment then.

You cannot (as far as I know) loose data on a TCP/IP connection. Not in
the middle of the transmission that is. Else the connection is lost.
As Gambit write; more code please.
