In General when a Socket is closed from the opposing side, what API calls do you have to make before you can use Connect again? as of right now I call Socket and Connect to make a whole new socket but I feel its not necessary. Does close need to be called even though the connection is not established anymore? what needs to be done mandatory?

Link to a quick easy way to output a integer to a string?

I added Masm32Rt.inc and its saying all my invokes are
"invalid symbol type in expression" I believe its ADDR Var, where Var is a DB array.

So I cant use Str$ Or Hex$ to output the information just to debug =(

Edit: Anyone know where the heck FD_SET and FD_ZERO is for Select on Winsock so I can Invoke?

Edit2:

I just cant seem to get this right, Under the event the internet disconnected or anything / Disconnects the best way to reconnect.

Edit: Is their a easy way to messure Time between API calls to test speed of a Proc / Command, or messure Clock Cycles?
