The reason you get a SocketException when you call the Send method is because Send is not an overridable method. For RhinoMocks to be able to mock the behavior of a property or method, it has to either be defined in an interface (which we then create our mock off) or is overridable.

Your only solution to this is to create a mockable wrapper class (as suggested by thinkzig).
