WSAETIMEDOUT

[Andrew Chalk]

When I try to connect from one app. to another I get the error WSAETIMEDOUT.
Is their a parameter to change the timeout? Is it worth changing from the
defaults?

Many thanks

It depends on why it is timing out... under normal use, the defaults work
very well.

As example, DNS lookup can cause a time out, but your software should try to
connect again.

If your app(s) are running local, then your network isn't configured
correctly or you have bugs in your program.

It is a registry setting.

Go here http://msdn.microsoft.com/ and read up on the TCP registry settings.

You should also post your code here, since the defaults work fine.
