Winsock_connect() only fires once

[intraman]

Hello,

I have an application, it checks for an internet connection by connecting to a website and then studying the winsock state as it changes. This successfully fires my socket_connect() sub. However, when the socket is then closed, and is used to connect to a different website for a different purpose, the _connect() event doesn't fire. Why?

Can it only fire once or should it fire every time the socket closes and then reconnects using socket.Connect?

I have found the source of the problem, somehow, Winsock must have been corrupted as whenever I try to retrieve a web page using winsock, it returns a load of strange characters, '?''s and spaces.

You can connect and reconnect over and over .. do this for each connection

With Form1.Winsock1
     .Close
     .LocalPort = 0
     .Connect RemoteHost, RemotePort
End With
