Subject: TCPSockets slooooooow

Prereq:

- Ruby 1.8.1 on Windows

- Server and Client, communicating using TCPSockets, using a line-orientated
protocol like FTP

When the client connects from the same computer, everything is as fast as I
would expect it. When the client is on a different computer, it takes
minutes to complete even a few lines of protocol.

Does anybody have an idea how to change that behaviour? Can there be
something wrong?

If this is not enough info, please tell me what I should pass on.

Christian

server.rb:

  server = TCPServer.new($INTERFACE, $PORT)
  while ($exitCode == 0 && session = server.accept)
    ...Thread.new(session) # whatever it does here for the protocol
(session.gets, session.puts, ...)
  end # while

-----
client.rb:

  session = TCPSocket.new(ARGV[0] ? ARGV[0] : 'localhost', ARGV[1] ?
ARGV[1].to_i : 64229)
  puts session.gets
    .... protocol using session.puts/session.gets
