The problem is that TCP is not packet-oriented, but stream-oriented. If you
call send() 2 times, this doesn't mean that there will be 2 TCP packets on
the other end. There can be anything between 1 and 20 (or more) TCP packets.
If you want message-based communication, you can use, for example,
MsgConnect (http://www.eldos.com/msgconnect/)

With best regards,
