Hi again Wilfried and thank You for Your endurance! I'm sorry to say that using the IP address doesn't do the trick. A difference is that no log entry is made at all the second time connecting before the application hangs.
Since I really appreciate Your effort Wilfried I reinstalled the TCP stack to 'prove' that the error is not at that end. And once again I'm sad to say; the reinstallation did not get the error go away on none of the both test computers where I can duplicate my customers reported application hang. Perhaps it is a good thing since these two are both brand new computers with the latest updates and so on. One thing that troubles me is that smtp-components from other vendors works fine also on the computers where ICS gets into trouble. If I for instance use the same test with Indy everything works fine! What is ICS doing that none of the other smtp components or applications are not? I'm out of ideas since a long time now, but a BIG clue to this problem must be that it doesn't happen the first time the component is created (= dll loaded). It is the subsequent times that something can go wrong. This means that You can start lots of SmtpTest-applications at the same time and connect them without getting into trouble. It is only when you're trying to connect multiple times from the same application that You get the hang on these computers.

You could try also by filling in the IP address of the smtp server instead of the host name. Probably it will not hang anymore. But as DZ mentioned, this is pure winsock call. So it is really winsock that hangs. Can you try to reinstall the TCP stack on the offending machine ? --- Rgds, Wilfried [TeamICS] http://www.overbyte.be/eng/overbyte/teamics.html http://www.mestdagh.biz Monday, December 18, 2006, 11:57, Henrik wrote: > Hello Wilfried! > I've downloaded the Your zip file (if you have more test files further > on, you can send them directly to me if it is easier for you). > Here are the results from the Swedish jury :-) > Best Regards > Henrik > On a computer where the component error is not showing: > ------------------------------------------------------- > (first time.
