TCPConnect Wont Die...

[m0nk3yI3unz]

Hey all. I dont usually need help, especially with the TCP functions (Ive used them a lot) but this one is stumping me...

I have a script which pings the server I want it to connect to, and if it's there, to connect to it (even if the application it's trying to connect to isn't running - It's supposed to check for that). The TCPConnect function, when called, is either connect the first time, or kill the program - no loops. Problem is, the program is hanging up on that command. I need it to try once, then if it doesn't connect, to kill the app.

My Code:

w("TCP Services Started! Connecting to server...")
setMsg("Connecting to update","server....","Started...")
Global $Connect = TCPConnect($IP,$UPORT)
switch $Connect
    case $Connect > 0
        setMsg("Connected successfully.","Retriving token...")
    case -1
        switch @error
            case 1
                ;                                                             <================= ERROR NUM 501
                msgbox(48,"ERROR","IP address of server is incorrect, or server is offline. Please try again later, or see site for details."&@CRLF&"ERROR NUM: 501")
                Exit
            case 2
                ;                                                             <================= ERROR NUM 502
                msgbox(48,"ERROR","Server port is incorrect, or server is offline. Please try again later, or see site for details."&@CRLF&"ERROR NUM: 502")
                Exit
        EndSwitch
EndSwitch

Have you tried setting TCPTimeout()?
