Hi Pete,
Somehow, your server doesn't return data to client on the socket that
the client expects.
The extra number might be a socket identifier. By using the socket, you
can distinguish connections with different clients:
127.0.0.1:10100|213213 and 127.0.0.1:10100|567657 are two different sockets.
If the client connects to a server and the new socket opened on the
server side is 127.0.0.1:10100|567657 but you read from socket
127.0.0.1:10100 with a callback message, a message will never be
received on that socket and eventually the socketTimeout message will be
triggered.
If this doesn´t solve it, can you post your script to show the problem?
If you want a complete example using sockets, you can read the telnet
example on my blog at http://qery.us/43g and if you happen to have my
book, you can also read about sockets there in chapter 18 ;-)

Diving into yet another new are of Livecode for me - sockets.
My server issues an accept statement for port 10100. My client opens
socket 10100. WHen the client connects to the server, the port number I
get is not 10100, but some other number which changes on each connection.
When sending messages between the client and server, which of these
numbers should I use?
My server uses read from socket with a callback message specified. I have
a socketTimeout message handler which fires every time the
socketTimeoutInterval expires. I thought the "read from socket with
message" command was blocking and everything would stop until a message is
received. If that's the case, it seems odd that these timeouts should
occur?
