You need to be more specific.  What exactly are you doing to communicate 
from it?  How do you know it is not communicating anymore?  Are their any 
errors?  What does your actual code look like?  Are you resetting the 
Bindings collection before reactivating the server?


Gambit

It uses the onUDPRead event to check for incoming data, if anything
 recognizable comes in it replies/acts on it. I know it doesn't work anymore
 because it doesn't receive any data. I had no errors but when
 i put in the Reset method like you mentioned on disabling the IdUDPServer i
 get a 'no bindings specified' warning.

 The actual code is very simple, on program startup
 IdUDPServer1->Active=true; and from within the program it can be set to
 false/true by the user.

Then either it is not actually listening at all, or it is listening on a 
different IP/Port than what the client is sending to.  Have you verified 
whether any actual data is arriving on the socket?  You can use a packet 
sniffer, such as Ethereal/Wireshark, for that.

There is no Reset() method.

Which version of Indy are you using?


Gambit 

Like i wrote before it does work on startup but when set to inactive and 
back to active it doesn't respond anymore, that is the problem.

Yes there is a Binding->Reset() method.

I use indy version 8.0.25.

That is not the type of resetting I was referring to earlier.

Calling Reset() clears the Binding's IP and Port by default (you can set the 
AResetLocal parameter to False to prevent that).  Doing so would allow the 
server to bind to a different local port when reactivated.  If that happens, 
then of course it is not going to respond to data anymore as clients would 
still be sending data to the old port.

> I use indy version 8.0.25.

That is a VERY old version of Indy that is no longer supported.  You should 
seriously consider upgrading to the latest Indy 9 or 10 snapshots.


Gambit 

Well, i got v10 sort of installed now... all works except the linker can't 
find the file indy.lib, that's not weird; it's not even on my computer. 
Where did i took a wrong turn?

Your project is still referencing Indy 8.  Edit the .bpr file to remove 
"indy.lib".  It should be referencing "IndySystemXX.lib", "IndyCoreXX.lib", 
and "IndyProtocolsXX.lib" instead, where "XX" is your version of BCB ("50" 
for BCB 5, "60" for BCB 6, etc).


Gambit 

Thanks! That works for now. I seem to have a strange error now 'Property and 
method IdUDPServer1UDPRead are not compatible. When i put a new idudpserver 
on a form it says that too when i doubleclick the onread event. Is there 
more i gotta remove ?

The OnUDPRead has a different signature in Indy 10 than it did in Indy 8. 
you need to update your code accordingly.

Did you remove all of the old Indy 8 files from your machine?


Gambit 

I followed the instructions for installing v10, i checked my sys-dir and bcb 
dirs but i don't see any other old indy files.
Don't know if this matters but when i run the install batch i get some .rsp 
not found messages.

Ok, after moving the bpl files in the C6 dir to project-bpl i got rid of the 
bcb-startup message that i couldn't find some bpl's, i found out that i had 
to edit some existing projects to get them to compile, the UDP-onread event 
has different parameters than the old indy. I do miss some integrated help 
now though, i don't see any help files included...

So i'm back to v8.0.25, it has help, it works.
