Tiemo, as this looks like a tcp/ip socket-level error I did a search on google, and it seems it is fairly widespread and occurs in diverse contexts (many different kinds of Windows apps). So, it is a problem at a deeper level than your app or the server.
http://www.pscs.co.uk/helpdesk/vpop3help/vpop3/socket_error_10038.htm Several of the linked pages suggest that the solution is that the client computers with the problem re-install tcp/ip networking: http://www.pscs.co.uk/helpdesk/vpop3help/vpop3/socket_error_10038.htm http://forums.techguy.org/networking/752133-solved-webtime-clock-tcp-ip.html That last page contains some Windows command lines that you could perhaps distribute as a fix (although obviously this is a bit risky, as if things go wrong and the Windows machine gets borked, then you did it!): >> Reset TCP/IP stack to installation defaults, type: netsh int ip reset reset.log Reset WINSOCK entries to installation defaults, type: netsh winsock reset catalog Reboot the machine. << Hope that helps, Bernard On Fri, Apr 3, 2009 at 10:09 PM, Tiemo Hollmann TB <toolb...@kestner.de> wrote: > Hi Devin, > see my last answer to Matthias.
