i have finally no idea how are socket connections controlled

i've derived TSeverClientThread to handle a single client connection
it's a loop because i cannot waste time on connecting and disconnecting 
every time client want's something from the server. it has own read and 
write buffers and some control variables

the problem is that checking the ClientSocket->Connected property in the 
client thread doesn't work
even when client has already disconnected the property is still true
the only way i can determine that client has disconnected is the fact that 
he appears then as sending data (waitfordata returns true) but it's lenght 
is zero. and it's not good because it can also happen on a slow connection 
and in addition it's not always happening when client is disconnecting 
what's going on?

thanks for help
