It was actually Marck that suggested it may be an internal component that is not recording the disconnect. I cannot however see a method of recreating that issue without maybe the source so I can terminate the connection from inside the environment, and trace through what is going on. I'd still be curious to see if they are using a global boolean to record a connection though. > JA> This wasn't the kind of connection termination I was thinking of.

Hrm... then Windows is sending a valid connection terminate to the client, and it is acknowledging it safely, and terminating the connection. So it is clearly not that. There must be some other factor. -- Jonathan Angliss ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
