I am writing a network program using winsocket. i use udp protocol. my question is: when client send the username and password to server and wait for server reply, how can i deal with time out? could anyone give me some idea?? thanks.

Hi, UPD protocol can't establish chenell and does not guarantee server rceiving of packages, therefore you can just use any predefined "time delay". (server response time). Vitali

it depend only from your project requirements. i mean that many parameters play role here: network, software, ... MS suggest setup timeout 15 seconds. Vitali
