That sounds very similar to an issue Francois reported several months
back and which turned out to be a winsock bug IMO.
In Vista+ winsock repeated the ARP request within a few seconds 2 times
to get the MAC address that accepts packets for the destination if the
request failed because the destination did not exist.
In Win XP there's only one ARP request sent.

The call to WSocket_Synchronized_closesocket(FHSocket) which calls
the native winsock API function doesn't return while winsock is still
trying to get the MAC address of a non-existing host.

Hi Arno,

Thanks for the info, this sounds useful.
One thing I don't understand regarding this, is that it does work on other machines running Windows 7, is this somehow explainable if this is indeed caused by a winsock bug? Was Francois able to find a way to make sure this is the case, or a work around?

Thanks!

Merijn
