Hi, When I try to do a remoting call where server network is down. I am getting exception saying like - "A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond". This is fine. But I am getting exception only after 45 Seconds. It actually varies from 30 - 60 seconds on different machine. This is not acceptable to our product as this timeout delay is causing the performance issues in our product. Can anyone give information how can I reduce this Timeout Exception delay period. I tried by providing the TCPIPChannel Properties like IDictionary properties = new Hashtable(); properties.Add("port", 9000); properties.Add("timeout", (uint)5000); properties.Add("connectionTimeout", (uint)5000); properties.Add("name", System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString()); clientChannel = new TcpClientChannel(properties, null); ChannelServices.RegisterChannel(clientChannel,false); Still no use . Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks & Regards Sripraneeth Nara.
