Is there a way to translate the messages to a more friendly > text like 'Server does not exist'? WinSock error codes can be passed to the Win32 API FormatMessage() function. The VCL has a SysErrorMessage() function that wraps FormatMessage(). EIdSocketError has a LastError property that you can pass to FormatMessage/SysErrorMessage(). > Is there a list of error codes? You have to look in the WinSock API documentation. Gambit
