I am using Scott Klement's socket programs to get weights from scales.
This has been running fine for over a year.

Ever since the network replaced its wireless controller early this week, the
wireless connection drops at times. (I'm already in touch with Lantronix)

When it drops, the connect() hangs for 3 to 5 minutes trying to make a
connection. (I would like that to be a second or 2, but there are no
timeout values). This hangs the 5250 manifest station for that time before
I can issue an error message.

Is there a way I can test the IP address to make sure the device is
connected (other than PING) before I try the socket connection?

Thanks,

Craig
