    How long do you want the program to wait before it decides that it is not going to receive a message?

    If that is an error message, you need to copy the FULL text and paste it here.

    Do you have a program for testing in place of the GPS device?

    I would test the receive program with special testing software that simulated the GPS to see if it would send and receive messages as expected.
    I know nothing about hercules.

    not really, I have to do it with the GPS, but I can give you the IP and port from the device in a PM.

    You could write some testing software to simulate the GPS to use with the program for testing to look for some first level bugs.
    Have you communicated with the GPS with any software?
