I am writing a service application that communicates with an application 
  on a PDA. The PDA is ofcourse the client and the service is the 
server.In the service I use WSAEventSelect to get events when the 
connection is closed or data is available.

When the app on the PDA closes the connection the server gets the close 
event. However when the PDA is reset the server never gets the close 
event. Are there other ways to detect the connection has been lost?
