If i remeber my tcp/ip right, i think that if one end of the connection disapears for some reason and there is no trafic it can take a long time before it gets closed. I think tcp have a some kind of keep alive but it's usualy several hours. If the end of the connection that still thinks it's connected sends something, the tcp/ip stack shoud detect that the connection is closed. If it's a big problem, maybe a ping command coud be added to the protocol that periodicaly gets sent. _______________________________________________ mythtv-dev mailing list mythtv-dev@mythtv.org http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev
