TCP/IP Sockets

[Chris Bipes <ChrisB@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

First I want to thank everyone for their support.  I have my socket client
working, with one minor glitch.  It will wait forever for a response from
the socket server.  I want to timeout after xx seconds.  the send and
receiver timer options are not supported.  Once I have connected to the
server, how does one timeout if the server does not respond to a request.
My program just sits at TIMW.  I am using an "AF_INET / SOCK_STREAM"
connection.  I am the client.  If the server is hung, I want to close the
connection and establish a new connection then resend the transaction.  I do
not now how to control this timeout value.  Any suggestions will be
appreciated.

Thanks again,
