We have a server/client application using sockets (internet domain - tcp). The client and server do sends and receives to each other successfully for a while(client uses blocking reads). All of a sudden, lo and behold, the clients read returns nothing. When this happens the client and server are killed then restarted and the first send/read fails. Logging out and in again changes nothing. Rerunning the client/server pair using a different port is successful. Help!! Jerry Freedman, Jr "Why did jfjr@mbunix.mitre.org Unix come from the east?"
