[Gambas-user] Socket not working in 2.8

I tried to create an application using a Socket instantiated in code:

[CODE]
PRIVATE MySock AS Socket

PUBLIC SUB Form_Open()
  
  MySock = NEW Socket

END
[/CODE]

I also tried:

[CODE]
PRIVATE MySock AS NEW Socket
[/CODE]

I had endless trouble getting the Socket to work so I created a new
project from the ClientSocket (0.0.56) sample included in 2.8. I first
tested the sample app, which worked fine. I then deleted the Socket
control from the sample and added the code as shown above.

Lo and behold, the Socket, when instantiated in code, will not connect
to anything. It just sits there "looking up hostname".

I need to be able to use a Socket in a class module, but it seems the
Socket doesn't want to work if it is instantiated in code. It works fine
if the Socket is added to a form, but this is no good for what I need to
achieve.

Am I doing something wrong or could this be a bug in Socket?

Any help is appreciated.
