Hope someone can help me with this, another socket problem.

I have a single Server Socket running in blocking mode, so each client has
its own thread. Everything I have tested works great.

Now, under some conditions the Server receives a message and the Server must
send a message to all the connected clients. So I declared a public routine
SendToAllClients(). The information that needs to be sent to all the clients
is also placed in a public variable.

So what I then do is the following:

In the receiving Server Thread;

           for( int i = 0; i <
Form1->ServerSocket2->Socket->ActiveConnections; i++ )
           {

                TServerClientWinSocket *ClientSocket =
static_cast<TServerClientWinSocket*>(
Form1->ServerSocket2->Socket->Connections[ i ] )           ;

                TMyServerThread *Thread              =
static_cast<TMyServerThread*>(
Form1->ServerSocket2->Socket->GetClientThread( ClientSocket ) ) ;



                if( Thread )
                {
                         Thread->InfoToSendToAllClients     =
DataToSendOutToClient           ;

                                                       ;
                        Thread->SendAnActionToSendToAClient()
;
                    }
                }

           }

So what I am trying to do is send the data contained in
DataToSendOutToClient to all the clients connected. Now everything seems to
work fine, that is the  public routine Thread->SendAnActionToSendToAClient()
does the send but what happens is shortly after the actual socket send takes
place the socket is dropped. There is no exception or error that I can see,
it just simply drops.

So my question is, in a threaded server socket, what is the proper way to
send a message to all connected clients.

Thanks for any information.
