It is more than likely that you are expecting all the data to appear in a single receive operation. That is not how TCP/IP works, it is not like reading a block of data from disk. TCP/IP has to break your block of data down into smaller components, which means that not all the data will be received at the same time. You need to repeat the receive operation until you have the complete 1024 bytes in your buffer. Google for "socket sample C++" and you will get some samples that show how it is done.
