Hi,

thanks for the feedback. I'll try to troubleshoot that. Which command
are you using? You should be able to force the use of a given engine
using the "--nsock-engine=select" parameter. Could you test it (server
and client side)?

I hadn't thought to add the extra parameter, sorry I didn't realise this first. When I force the use of "select" it works fine; when I use "poll" it doesn't work:

C:\Users\Robert>ncat -v xxx.xxxxxx.xxx 80 --nsock-engine=select
Ncat: Version 6.02 ( http://nmap.org/ncat )
Ncat: Connected to xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:80.

^C

Both engines seem to work fine when listening (used telnet and Ncat with select to send to the server):

C:\Users\Robert>ncat -lk 8080 --nsock-engine=poll
hello
world
^C
C:\Users\Robert>ncat -lk 8080 --nsock-engine=select
ping
pong
^C
