Problem With FD_CLOSE Event

is the FD_CLOSE msg sent only when a socket is closed remote or when you close the socket also? I am using the closesocket() function to close my socket and when I do it doesnt send the FD_CLOSE msg. And I dont think it is when the connection is closed remotely.

Try shutdown(sckSocket,0x02);

Also you might try catching the socket close event and force send a FD_CLOSE over the wire.

what do u mean catch the close event?

and what does shutdown() do? close the socket?

Are you using MFC? or API?

Did you use WSAAsyncSelect to setup a callback?

Im using API, and I did use WSAAsyncSelect. I think I fixed the problem with the FD_CLOSE message, but now I cant seem to have the socket reconnect.

That might be casused by the socket on the "server" or "client" end still holding your port open. You need to make sure that the socket is clear/destroyed before reconnecting

It would be more helpfull if I could see your code or project.

thx. Actually I just fixed it.
