Having problems listening to a port...

Im running TVersity media streamer on port 41952 on ip 192.168.0.3 , problem is the cpu keep sleeping whilst streaming

so basically all im trying to do is check the port to see if its active or not ..

tried

$g_IP = @IPAddress1 ; 192.168.0.3 -ip of server

; Start The TCP Services
;==============================================
TCPStartUp()

; Create a Listening "SOCKET"
;==============================================
$MainSocket = TCPConnect($g_IP, 41952)
If $MainSocket = -1 Then
    msgbox(16,"",@error)
Else
    msgbox(16,"","success!!")
Endif

which should of worked but returns an error of "10013"

tried TCPconnect and that worked ok

$g_IP = @IPAddress1 ; 192.168.0.3 -ip of server

; Start The TCP Services
;==============================================
TCPStartUp()

; Create a Listening "SOCKET"
;==============================================
$MainSocket = TCPConnect($g_IP, 41952)
If $MainSocket = -1 Then
    msgbox(16,"","error")
Else
    msgbox(16,"","success!!")
Endif

but this doesnt help me as the servers running 24/7 so the connection as always there

Any ideas or a better way to do it??

Cheers

Try opening a command line console and use NETSTAT. You're looking for a connection status of ESTABLISHED. Check it when there is an active connection, and when there isn't to see if you can tell from there.
