Hi Scott & David,

Let me correct something - I believe i was wrong in calling my thread a
'worker' thread I was just trying to indicate it to be an alternative
thread
to my main thread, which i have manually created. I create the thread as
follows:

UINT ThreadedNW (LPVOID pParam);

void CSvrProcessManager::_InitNetworkServer()
{
/* some code here */

// create the thread
CWinThread* m_Thread = AfxBeginThread(ThreadedNW, this);
}

[snip]

This is a worker thread, due to the fact you're passing a callback function
in the first parameter. You need to use this one:

CWinThread* AfxBeginThread( CRuntimeClass* pThreadClass, int nPriority =
THREAD_PRIORITY_NORMAL, UINT nStackSize = 0, DWORD dwCreateFlags = 0,
LPSECURITY_ATTRIBUTES lpSecurityAttrs = NULL );

Read up on AfxBeginThread to create a CWinThread-derived class that you then
pass using the RUNTIME_CLASS macro.
