Thanks for the replies so far. I have sent a "debug" version of my software to the guy using it (regretfull I can't access the VPN from here ...) and he just returned me the result, which is not very helpful.
When I issue a "CliSocket->Connect()", the state changes from 8 to 3 and after aprpox. 3 seconds (according to the log-file entries) back to 8. The only error that occurs is CliSocketError(), but there's no error code that supplies any information at all (CliSocket- >LastError appears to be 0 as well). CliSocketSessionConnected() is never reached. As for the Telnet experiment: the controller that is on the other end of the line only supports TCP/IP; it's not a PC or similar, just a simple micro that has a stripped down TCP/IP stack for this particular (limited) communication. I have tested it thoroughly and it works without a single problem as long as it is used in the LAN. Could it be that TWSocket is not waiting long enough for a connection to be established? I have no clue on how to change that, if it is possible in the first place. Any further suggestions are highly appreciated.
