Connection broken on recv() function

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

Dear all,

I use recv() function to receive data from the client socket (blocked). If
the client has terminated the process, the function returns SOCKET_ERROR
with the error code WSAECONNRESET(10054). Then I can handle this error by
determinating the error code.

However, when I unplug the LAN cable on the client's computer, the function
does not return, it still blocked in the recv() function. Is there any way
to set the recv() function return immediately or within a certain time? And
I don't want to use a nonblock socket.

Thanks a lot,
Kwokho, Fung
