Client hangs waiting for a completed remote object method

Hi,

The client is an app to access the remote device thru protocol
driver/DeviceIoControl. The client intermittently hangs, waiting for the
remote object method to finish (example: rDevice.Open()). On the server, the
method completes as indicated by a console message at the end of the method.
The remoting method call does not return control back to the client.

So far, we've removed some device code to determine if the problem is
proprietary. The hang as a result moves to another remote call, for instance,
another DeviceIoControl call. This could still be our problem, but we also
found similar problems as reported in:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.remoting/browse_frm/thread/82fb34937956973a/9d6899ffc0ac8af3?q=c%23+remoting+issues&_done=%2Fgroups%3Fq%3Dc%23+remoting+issues%26start%3D60%26&_doneTitle=Back+to+Search&&d#9d6899ffc0ac8af3

More info: .NET 1.1; on debugger break, one of the threads is
Socket.Acccept; problem only occurs when running on a remote device object as
oppose to running on a local device.

Also, what debugger/utility should I use to debug/view the remoting
messages? I'd like to see where the communication breaks when the remote
method completes and the client call.

Thanks in advance for any comments/suggestions.

BR,
Af
