On one PC the following test code results in an error on
the GetResponse line while it works OK on another PC. The
only difference that I am aware of is that the one that
works is XP while the problem occurs on Windows 2000. I
have tested that the Internet connection is OK through IE.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? The error is:
System.Net.WebE xception: The underlying connection was
closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive.
at(System.Net.H ttpWebRequest.C heckFinalStatus ())
at System.Net.Http WebRequest.EndG etResponse(IAsy ncResult
asyncResult)
at(System.Net.H ttpWebRequest.G etResponse())
Private Function TestForWebConne ction() As Boolean
Dim bResult As Boolean
Try
bResult = True
Dim URI As New System.Uri
("http://www.microsoft.c om")
Dim TestRequest As Net.WebRequest =
Net.WebRequest. Create(URI)
