Do not use OnError event. Use structured exceptiuon handling (that is try/except/finally construct). It's the best way to handle errors.

TWSocket doesn't change any winsock default. The time is quite long. I suggest you execute your program step by step within Delphi debugger, including TWSocket code. To start, you can put a breakpoint in TCustomWSocket.Connect and see what is failing. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.overbyte.be ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <twsocket@elists.org> Sent: Friday, July 15, 2005 12:50 PM Subject: Re: [twsocket] No connection with TCP/IP over VPN > Thanks for the replies so far. > > I have sent a "debug" version of my > software to the guy using it (regretfull I can't access the VPN from > here ...) and he just returned me the result, which is not very > helpful. > > When I issue a "CliSocket->Connect()", the state changes from > 8 to 3 and after aprpox. 3 seconds (according to the log-file entries) > back to 8.
