I've got the following problem :

I've spent the last few days creating a little chat-program for our own LAN.
It seems to work quite well, but only when I'm still using the IP-adress
that's been set at design-time. After I've changed the IP at runtime, it
won't work anymore. I change the IP via a string which contains the dotted
IP-adress, thus which contains something like "192.168.0.5". I've verified
that the IP-adress is right, and that the component has recyved the new IP
adress correctley (  did a Memo -> Lines -> Add ("(" + MessageClient -> Host
+ ")");  ). I've tried out the app with IP-adresses set at desgn-time over
my LAN, that works. As soon as I change the adress at runtime, even if it is
the same adress as the one which I set at design-time, it won't work
anymore. I've made a keypressed event so that whenever a user types a
sentence and presses enter, the typed sentence is sent to the server. After
I changed the IP-adress, the first time I press enter, the server just
doesn't recyve the message. The next time the client gives the error
"Already connected", and then the program stops responding. I have to kill
it using CTRL + ALT + DEL. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? I've read
that the Host property can be set at runtime... What's going on?

Thanks,

JP
