    Unhappy WinSock

    Every time I use WinSock in VB6 I get the same error message.

    "Wrong protocal/connection state for requested action to take place"

    Any ideas on a fix?

    (P.S. I know i've got the code right, cause I'm using the tutorial GIVEn stuff)
    Why? The often unanswerable question. If it is unanswerable, why answer it?

    Maybe you get more answers on a VB specific board

    She was so Blonde, she spent 20 minutes looking at the orange juice can because it said "Concentrate."

    When in doubt, read the FAQ.
    Then ask a smart question.

    Hey. I've been getting some pretty nice help in VB so far, dude.

    Winsock API or Winsock control?

    If Winsock control, try looking in its properties window for a protocol property. Try the different values.
