More Socket Problems.........

Hi,

I the same app running on two machines. The two machines are called  
"thestateoftheart" which has a LAN IP Address of 192.168.1.101 and  
"looktowindward" which has an IP Address is 192.168.1.102.

Both machines can be servers and both can be clients of the other  
server. I have two buttons, one starts the server and one the client  
(see the two mouseUp handlers below, one on the "Start Server" Button  
and one on the "Start Client" button.

I hit the "StartServer" button on "thestateoftheart" and hit the  
"StartClient" button on "looktowindward".

This results in the following dump of the log file(s)

-----------------------------------

Sometimes I don't get the socketErrors and I just get the last group  
in the Client Log:

StartOneClient - Connect: 192.168.1.87:6000|looktowindward
ClientSocketOpen - Open Socket: 192.168.1.87:6000|looktowindward

ClientSocketConnectionDataSent - Data Written: 192.168.1.87:6000| 
looktowindward

Questions:

Why do I sometimes not get a socketError or a socketTimeout ?

Why does it sometimes repeat (as it should) for a few times and then  
stop?

Here is the code:

The mouseUp handler are in the main stack of the app and the


------------------------------------------------------------------------

--  Server - mouseUp

------------------------------------------------------------------------
on mouseUp
   local myClientAllowList
   local myHostName

   put the hostName into myHostName
   if myHostName = "thestateoftheart" then
     put "192.168.1.101" & cr into myClientAllowList

     put "192.168.1.111" & cr into myClientAllowList -- Cause an error

   else if myHostName = "looktowindward" then
     put "192.168.1.102" & cr into myClientAllowList
   else
     answer error "Unknown Host:" && myHostName with "OK"
     exit mouseUp
   end if


   get StartServer(6000,myClientAllowList)
end mouseUp
