Time out delays

Hi

How do i set a socket to wait for a reply after a set time frame? For
example the following scenarios:

1) Give a user 10 seconds to respond after which time send an automatic
message to the server from the client to do a default action
2) set a time limit to give the server time to respond before continuing

I have a lobby as part of my project and i need the lobby data to be
retrieved from the server. I do this by initialising a lobby object on the
server when it starts. All clients who connect send a request for the lobby
and i then serialise this object and send it to the client who deserialises
it initialising their local object to an exact copy of the server lobby
object at that point.

So i would like to set some form of time frame not only for general timeouts
but for making sure my client has the lobby data before continuning. Whats
the best way?
