These sockets mentioned by me are for sending only. Receiving is done by one central socket for all connections, which works because traffic etc. is not a problem. Okay some of that things are this way because I didn't understand all concepts when initially building this DLL, but I didn't have much time back then. The question is, how should the DLL sitting on top of my communication dll use thread attach? It has no access to the socket whatever, it only has init_communication, close_communication and send. All work with a handle (integer) the communication dlls assigns a new connection within init_connection. How can I solve my problem? Which thread does the socket belon to now? Does it belong to the thread in the dll sitting on top of my communication dll? If yes, why does closing that socket within the execute method of this thread problems? Is it because the socket might have been created by that dll but within another context? If created from the same thread and destroyed by the same thread there would be no problem?
