Sockets

Hello all,

This is a premature "report" - really more of a question to see if others
are scratching their heads over the same thing.  I have a situation in which
my 3.06 image will create sockets, but, my 4.0 image won't; every call in
the latter results in INVALID_SOCKET and an error.  Any experiences of
related success or failure?

Have a good one,

Bill

Hello Bill,

it is probably unrelated to your problem, but who knows. I had a case under
3.06 where certain version of SHLWAPI.DLL in the current directory on
certain machines, would render dolphin sockets unavailable, on all calls.

Thanks - I'll keep that in mind.  It turns out that Chat works in a default
image (not sure yet whether the location is important as your 3.06
experience might suggest), or whether I've stomped on something with my
file-ins.

Have a good one,

I went back to the default image and found that Chat worked, and then later
that it didn't.  Then I tried some 'DNS" queries of my hosts files, and
those failed.  As a "bang on the box" approach, I evaluated

    WSockLibrary openDefault.

and suddenly stuff started working.  Could it be that something is failing
to call #startSocketSystem?

Have a good one,

Bill

Ah, I'm getting an inkling, and I think you may well be on to something
there. I will report back tomorrow.

Indeed. Please try the attached patch which revises the library startup code
a little.

All being well this will be in the first LiveUpdate.

Sorry for any inconvenience.

Regards

Blair
