in thread Howto check if TCP connection is alive ?

You should talk with the person supporting the server, then. The protocol for a reasonable Client and Server using TCP/IP would include heartbeats. (That is, if a Client hasn't received a message from the Server in M milliseconds, send a heartbeart. If the Server hasn't returned a Heartbeat Acknowledgement in N milliseconds, drop the connection and reconnect.)
