Hi:

ws1 win2k

ws2 win2k

ws3 win98

server linux

server win2k

I have an inerbase db on my network (on local development machine
right now) Where the db is installed, installed with it is a little
service which respondes to:

MainDM->UDPClient->Broadcast("QUERY", 8092);

and tells tha app where it is so the app can connect. This is to avoid
set up. Install app and start and it finds its db on the network.

I am rewiring (for increased load capacity) my outlets in my server room
so I shut them all down.

The lan is down as indicated by a little icon in the task bar.

The code snippit above produces a 10065 error.

Since the database and the service are on the same machine as the app it
shoudl be available but never gets to querying the local machine.

Why woudld udpclient->broadcast throw an exception just because the lan
is down????

Thanks.

Best regards
