Multithreading with Winsock

Hi Guys,

I have learned how multithread with VB (yes, that's right, real multithreading!). However, I am using Winsock in my application, and I am planning on doing the following:

Have one thread that listens for connections, then when a connection request is made, a new thread is loaded, and that thread accepts the connection request... thus making a new thread for each session.

It half works at the moment, but I am having a problem where the connections just die for no reason. I found the following webpage, and it explains my problem word-for-word:
Multithreading with Winsock (A short paragraph written by some guy)

So, do you recon it's official, and that it cant be done? Or do you recon there is a way around it?

(p.s. MSDN says that you CAN do multithreading with VB.)

(p.p.s. Doug, before you say 'Find a Winsock Guru', I have already looked, but I can’t find anyone that knows much more about it than I do)

Ok, I have found out that despite what MSDN says, you cant pass the RequestID accross threads in Visual Basic.

However, here is how I resolved it....I used SocketWrench!

SocketWrench is like Winsock, but it's 50x better, and it supports multithreading. I just thought I would post my findings incase anyone else was wondering how you do multithreading with Winsock.
