Uploading files from one machine to another, crashing internet ?

Hey...

What my application does is, it creates a socket connection between my computer and a specified IP address. Then a file is chosen and is uploaded to that specified IP. Now this works perfect. But when i stat another application while uploading like the internet, it haults my application and the upload freezes. Does anyone have any idea why.. This is really a problem that i have to fix... I cannot force customers to wait till the whole upload is done then start browsing the net or start other applications...

Thanks

you cannot crash the Internet. You may be able to cause one computer on the Internet to crash but you will have a very hard time crashing every computer on the Internet at the same time.... I think you will have better odds winning the lottery

That's not what i meant, i don't need to crash the internet. What i'm saying is that while uploading if i launch the internet or any other software my application will crash and the upload will hault.... Any idea why it haults my uploading when another thing is started ?

Does it have something to do with task priorities ?

I do not have the exact solution to the problem, but here is a hint, the window in which you are running your application (I am assuming it is the command line) will stop processing, when it got deactivated , regardless of the other application being called. Do you know how in solaris you can use the command "nohup"; it tells the os to keep running the command following "nohup" weather the user loged in or loged off.

remeber that windows can do one thing at a time, therefore when you call another application it gives the priorty to the new called application.

I saw in this forums a qustion about an applet being deactiveated for similar reason, but I can not remember the exact subject.

Hope this helps.
