Fwd: Simple TCP client (winsock) does nothing

Hi,

I decided to forward this from the user newsgroup (having
read the latest WWN :))

Message-ID:

I am testing the winsock.dll in RH9 with a Visual Basic program
running under WINE.  This is the most simple winsock client I could
write... in fact, its copied directly out of the "Using Winsock
Control" in MS sample docs.  One button to connect to a server and
another to send data to the server.  Works fine on a Windows box, but
fails under WINE.

I say "fails" but it doesn't do anything.  My server (on the LAN)
doesn't recieve a connect request when you click the connect button on
the client... it doesn't see anything from the client.  I can click
the connect and nothing happens, click send and nothing happens.  No
errors, but no data transfer either.  No firewall is configured.  I
did copy a mswinsck.ocx to the windows/system directory but its using
WINE's winsock.dll.

I have installed and run VNC bidirectionally between the same two
boxes (Linux and Windows) so I know there is a good IP connection. 
Any direction is greatly appreciated by one whose struggling to learn
Linux and WINE at the same time.  Below is a copy of --debugmsg
+winsock for what its worth.

Thanks,

Steve Ricketts
