I have a chat program that I've been working on and it works great. I use a UDP connection to send/receive messages and the like. I have 2 computers set up, both with different IP's for development purposes. Only one problem, though. After a while of running the program as a host or client it just quits responding. Neither the host computer nor the client computer will respond to any data sent between them from my program.

Any ideas as to what I need to do? Do I need to free up the port somehow? I use the bind command so that no other applications can use my port, but the problem still seems to come up.

And if you are curious, I am not behind a firewall.

Thanks in advance!
