    This Takes 4EVER!

    When I try to do the following:

    VB Code:
    1. Client = New TcpClient(server, port)

    It takes forever when I input an invalid server. Is there any way to speed up the process of seeing if the server and port are legit before trying to create a new client?

    Thanks,

    Can you ping the server? If so, use the Ping API call to ping the server first.

    If not, connect en set your own timer for a time out...
