Hans, all,

well, I have begun trying, and I am hung with a socket error 10049. 

Basically, I have taken my cues from the Chat example (BCB5, Examples,
Internet, Chat) and built a strict server and a strict client (Chat is
both, switching back and forth).  I am testing with my two office
machines.  The server sits on Windows 98 (not even SE), and the client
on Windows 2000.  The Chat app works reasonably well.  (It does not
like reversing the clien-server relationship too much.)

The server gets past the OnListen event and then sits and waits.
The client gets through OnLookup, OnConnecting, and gets an error
10049 before reaching OnConnect.  Actually, it does not matter if the
server app is up and running.

What could I look for where to narrow down on the source?  As Chat
works, I must be making a mistake ...

I'd appreciate any suggestions.

Cheers,                     Jochen
