there is something out there called CSocketMaster.
It is a class for doing the stuff the Winsock control does

Is there an advantage to that? Besides no ocx?

I have tried CSocketMaster but I can't get the Connect to work properly neither in .dll format also.

I tried:

mSocket.Connect "66.66.66.66", 9800
 
If mSocket.State = sckError Then
     MsgBox "Cant connect"
End If
 
If mSocket.State = sckConnected Then
     MsgBox "Connected"
End If
 
MsgBox mSocket.State 'always returns sckConnecting

It always returns sckConnecting and doesn't do anything else (even when the server is up) and returns sckConnecting and doesnt do anything else instead of returning sckError when the server is down.

Could someone post a good test example using CSocketMaster with DataArrival, Connect, Accept, SendData, GetData, etc. ?

The two main advantages are, no OCX and you get the source code to play around with.

Tantrum, Did you run the examples the code comes with?
