Please show your actual sending code.  Sockets don't just drop without
saying why, so there has to be an error being reported somewhere..

Exactly what you are already doing - looping through the server's
connections sending to each one.  Although I have to question your use of
InfoToSendToAllClients.  What happens if a thread has not sent
InfoToSendToAllClients yet when another multi-client message comes through?
Is InfoToSendToAllClients overwritten?  Sounds like you need to implement
some kind of queing system, if you are not already doing so.
