webrequest timeouts at 3rd request
I'm trying to build a Window Mobile tool that posts data back to my server at intervals.
I'm using this code to do the posting (or getting... technically speaking...)
Function postData(ByVal strData As String)
Dim URL As String = "http://myurl.com/myfile.asp?data=" & strData
Dim web As WebRequest
web = WebRequest.Create(URL)
web.Timeout = 5000
web.GetResponse()
web = Nothing
End Function
I call the postData function from a timer every 30 seconds...
the first 2 posts, everything get through just fine, de third time (and everytime after) I get timeout errors...
restarting the app gives me another 2 posts.. and then... errors...
Any clues on how I could solve this?
P.s. Writing in vb.net on a WM6 HTC TYTN II using VS 2008 / CF 3.5

please help me... If more info is needed, i'll post it...
I've seen somewhere on MSN that IIS can hang after 2-3 POST or PUT requests, maybe that's the case? have you tried different sites or maybe different servers?

Alexey, good thought, not it though...
I've rewritten my project to do this, and only this:
Dim web As HttpWebRequest
Dim URL As String
URL = "http://www.cnn.com"
web = HttpWebRequest.Create(URL)
web.Timeout = 2500
web.GetResponse()
URL = "http://www.abc.com"
web = HttpWebRequest.Create(URL)
web.Timeout = 2500
web.GetResponse()
URL = "http://www.fox.com"
web = HttpWebRequest.Create(URL)
web.Timeout = 2500
web.GetResponse()
web = Nothing
again, first to request go fine, the third fails...
