Good grief. Did you actually try to understand what I wrote?

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".
