The whole select thingie is still a bit blurry to me...(I really need a Book). Which I forgot to mention is that both my sockets are connected to different ports... (54321 & 1024) And also, one socket is connected to a server, and the other socket is accepting from a client.... Does this change anything?? So Loop 1 is reading stuff that is happening on the server. And Loop 2 is reading stuff that a direct client is sending.
