Note: Setting the timeout to zero for the TCP_Listen command allows it to listen indefinitely. Make sure you set the timeout back to some other value after this command. Also, the timeout value is used for "TCP/IP timeouts" AND "wait for a response timeout". If you set the timeout to zero, it will never get enough time to wait for a response.
