Re: I-Net 5.01 WF2 hangs on disconnect
Hello Mike, I do remember reading about the support of Winsock complaint TCP/IP stacks from different vendors in the Informix NET Release Notes. Informix has mentioned that it works well only with some TCP/IP stacks for the particular version of INET you are using. I know for sure it works well with Microsoft TCP/IP for WFW , but regarding other vendors, looking into the release/documentation notes for INET may indicate something. HTH.
