in thread Solved: System call in thread hangs threaded application on win32

Hm. It's upto 1300+ pings per thread so far and still no sign of any slowdown.

Methinks maybe you should try your real code outside of a VM and see how you fair there.

    I have now tried the script on a windows 2000 machine running Citrix, and it still runs ok. I have also tried to set the number of processors on the windows 7 machine running in virtualbox to one, and now it runs fine without hanging.

    I can only replicate the error on a windows 7 machine with more than 1 processor, and that machine is a virtual machine. Next week I can test the script on a windows 7 machine with 2 processors that is running on real hardware and not in Virtualbox.

      VirtualBox is very good, especially when running Ubuntu (and probably other linuxii), but I've seen a few anomolies with Vista.

      You could try MS Virtual PC in the interim of getting the hardware.
