The Lan connects HP 9000/320, SUN 3/xxx, microVAX and PCs computers. I am developing a Client software, running on PC, requesting services to a Server running on HP 9000 (Unix env.). When the process Client send the request it is in waiting state on the receive primitive, to receive response from server.On the other side, the server doesn't processes the request, as if it is waiting for message end. So, the Client is waiting for the response, the Server is waiting for the end of message. At this point I suspend the process Client (break key from keyboard): immediately the Server processes correctly the request (so it receives the comlete message) and sends response to the Client, stopping for time out because Client is down. Notes It should be noted the same Client, in HP environment (TCP/IP - socket) is correctly running because there is a 'shutdown' primitive after the send primitive. There is no shutdown primitive in WIN/API libraries neither an equivalent one. What I am missing? How can I fix the problem? (perhaps, the Client is only able to send messages?) Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. --------------------------------- Giancarlo Di Capua Software Factory Dept.
