Hello,

I am running a server which just basically echos(port 7) whatever you send it on whatever port it listens on. Now that end runs fine however the client I have works great on win98/XP and won't work on win2kPro(haven't tried NT4.0). Any reasons as to why? I am using ActiveState Perl but I figure perl is perl and unless active state OR the winsock in the NT architecture is different then it should work right?

Anyways here is a copy paste of the udp client(the tcp client works fine BTW) 

sub UDPing {
  $remote = IO::Socket::INET->new(
    Proto    => "$type",
    PeerAddr    => "$server",
    PeerPort    => "$port"
  ) or die "Couldn't connect $type Socket:\n$!";

  $peeraddr = join "." => unpack "C*" => $remote->peeraddr();
  $select = IO::Select->new($remote);
  while ($count <= $magic) {
    $start = Time::HiRes::time;
    if ($count < 2) {
      print("${type}ing $server ($peeraddr):\n");
    }
    $remote->send('PING');
    if ($select->can_read(3)) {
      $rtt = 1000 * (Time::HiRes::time - $start);
      $r = $remote->recv($data, 0);
      printf("$peeraddr: ${type}_no=$count time=%.3f ms\n", $rtt);
      UpdateStats($rtt);
    } else {
      print ("Request Timed Out.\n");
      UpdateStats();
    }
    $count++;
  }
}
