Hi, So I have 3 threads. In one of these threads I'm constantly calling receive on a UDP socket. On the other two I'm waiting with accept. Problem is, when receive times out, and launches SocketTimeoutException, IF I'm doing accept on one of the other two threads, the thread doing accept is suspended and the exception is handled (on the other thread)... Of course, I don't want this, I want to keep my accept running till the end. Any ideas? Thanks!

So you have 3 sockets? 1 DatagramSocket and 2 ServerSockets?

I'm not really sure how accept() could impact UDP socket.

accept() is specific to TCP. You should be calling recvfrom() on a single socket when using UDP -- all remote clients will be sending to the same port and the same socket, and your server tells them apart by looking at the address you get out of recvfrom().
