Hi captainc!

I was also playing around with network connections some time ago. Here my loop which is reading the data from the socket. It works ok for me.

void NetServTest::TimerLoop()
{	
	String sCommand;
	
	if(!m_Connection.IsOpen())
	{
		if(m_Socket.Accept(m_Connection, &m_ipaddr, true, 100))
			PromptOK("Accept.");
		Status = "OFF";
	}
	if(m_Connection.IsOpen())
	{
		Status = "ON";
		sCommand = m_Connection.Read(100);
		Output = sCommand;
		if(sCommand == "WHO")
			m_Connection.Write("It's me!");
		Sync();
	}
	SetTimeCallback(2000, THISBACK(TimerLoop));
}

I'm not doing anything to clear. I'm not a programming expert and cannot tell you what is really the correct way, but the above works for me.

I think in your code the sock1.Accept(sock1) is the problem. You should not accept the connection on the same socket on which you are listening.
