Hi Rolf, [tcpsocketserver] is an abstraction. If you open it you can see that [tcpserver] is inside, so you could edit it to add the other outlet. As to why it behaves differently from [tcpserver] I don't know. There are two versions of [tcpserver], one in mrpeach and the other in iemnet. Maybe try a different one?

i'm on Pd-ext 42.5, Windows xp/7 set-up: 1 tcpsocketserver, 6 or more wireless tcpclient-s (+ 1 router). broadcasting from the server to the clients works.
sending back something from the clients to the server fails for some. the messages are sent correctly (only a few bytes), but the server ignores 1 or more of the clients permanently.
when using tcpserver instead of tcpsocketserver this doesn't happen.
how can i find out why tcpsocketserver is behaving like that?
BTW i encountered this because contrary to what is said in the help patch, tcpsocketserver does not have the same outlets as tcpserver, 4 instead of 5. consequently the [client( message cannot be used to see the status of the clients. i 'solved' this by letting the clients sending back a 'present' message. with the above mentioned outcome.
