Visual Basic, winsock not recieving all data

winsock not recieving all data

Author	Message
David E Glas #1 / 2	winsock not recieving all data I am sending packets of data over the winsock, but the receiving end does not receive all of the data. I am sending in packets of 8000 bytes, but the receiving end grabs between 500 and 4000 each time. Am I doing something wrong? This only happens when I use it over an actual network and not using the IP loopback address. (127.0.0.1) Any help is greatly appreciated Dave -- ICQ# 3263311, Fax: +44 (0870) 1640 113 To e-mail me, replace 'nospam' with ' btcf' A hundred thousand lemmings can't be wrong.

If the data is variable-length then you must preceed it with a header that says how much is to follow, or follow it by a recognizable end-of-data flag so that the receiving end knows when it has everything.
