Only first line gets sent

Im writing a Win32 chat program.
When i retrieve two lines from the Listbox to send, only the first line gets sent.

I checked the char* in send(), it contains both lines.

The first line can be any length, it gets there so its not a problem with the size.

I tried to loop recv() too, it received the first line several times but not the second.

The worse is that i dont even know on which side is the problem.

Any idea would be highly appreciated.

Get Wireshark
That will tell you what's happening "on the wire".

And saying "I use send() and recv()" isn't much good. Everyone uses them, and most people have success. You need to post some code in context if you want more than guesses.

Thank you very much Salem, Wireshark showed me that its the client who doesnt send the second line.

So to summer up: everything is in the buffer to send but only the first line gets sent.

Here's the code, server and client in one file, its .cpp and it compiles with mingw.
