Client request slow to fail if server down


Client request slow to fail if server down Grant Schenck

dotnet remoting: Hello,

I client and server which use remoting to communicate..

It all works well using the TCP channel.

However, if the server goes down, while a client request will fail, it take
about ONE MINUTE to do so!

Is there a way to speed up this time?

Thanks,

Hello,

Have other people experienced this issue? Is this a "known" problem?

Specifically, I implemented a simple Pint() method in my interface so my
client could check every couple of seconds that the server is still their.
What happens is that if all is working fine and I take down the server then
my Ping() method call hangs for around 1 minute before returning.

Is there timeout support built into the sockets used for the TCPChannel such
that I can have it give up sooner???

Thanks!
