Thanks. I'm not polling, I am using the overlapped structure in send and recv but hadn't thought to use separate structures for send versus recv. That should work...thanks.

I'm writing some port forwarding code and don't have control over the size of the data being sent/received. So I need to always have a recv queued even though I may possible be in the middle of a write (since my overlapped sockets are reading and writing to and from each other whenever recv gets new data on either side). How do I allow for the possibility that an unblocked worker thread could be processing a read or a write? IOW how do I know if GetQueuedCompletionStatus was unblocked for a pending WSARecv or WSASend? thanks. ---jt
