Client connection problem

Subject:Client connection problem

Hi friends!

I am new to using the indy components.

My problem is:

I'm writing a client/server application. The client is a service
application.

What I would like to achieve is the following:

If the server is not available, the client should keep on trying
(every 5 seconds) to connect to the server until the server is
available. Could someone please help me to solve this problem as I
have wasted hours on how to address this problem?

The client code looks like this:

try
TCPClient.Host := DefaultServerIP;
    TCPClient.Port := DefaultServerPort;
    TCPClient.Connect;
    except on E: Exception do
MessageDlg ('Error while connecting to SERVER:'+#13+E.Message,
mtError, [mbOk], 0);

Thanks
