Hi there. I am still having trouble.

So, you say if one of us runs the Server script configured like this below

(I am excerpting this from the original code in this thread)

Code:

; -------------------------------------------------
; ------------SERVERSCRIPT------------------
; -------------------------------------------------
; CONFIGURATION SECTION:

; Specify Your own Network's address and port.
Network_Address = 70.74.71.100
Network_Port = 8765



I am assuming from the comment on this code, I am to put my PUBLIC IP address in that Network_Address spot and a port I want to open.

And my friend runs the Client in another part of town,....

Code:

; -------------------------------------------------
;-----------CLIENTSCRIPT----------------------
; -------------------------------------------------
; CONFIGURATION SECTION:

; Specify address and port of the server.
Network_Address = 70.74.71.100
Network_Port = 8765


So, my buddy runs this part of the script... and that should have my PUBLIC IP and same port. ....and so then, upon him clicking CONNECT from the client script, it should reach my end, and connect to my server script?

Right? The problem I am facing is, when I run the Server script it just crashes. I am getting a bind() indicated Winsock error 10049 message. Same thing happens with him if he attempts to run the server script. However, I am not running nor my friend is running any firewalls and we are on the same ISP. Further, we can actually ping each other, and so from DOS when we PING each other we see data there at that level.... so there are no blocks in theory between us.

So what are we doing wrong? If I put something like 127.0.0.1 on the Server Script, it just sends messages to itself... that works.

..... Any ideas on what we could be doing wrong, and need to do to make this function over the Internet? Smile

either put 127.0.0.1 or your local IP address for the server

IIRC, the address in the server is the address of the local interface it binds to. If it binds to localhost (127.0.0.1), it will only accept connections from the local machine. Binding to 0.0.0.0 on the other hand, should allow connections from any network.

It works now thanks.
Is there anyway to define when a certain address disconnects though?


Hmm... interesting approach. I was thinking more functionally, disconnecting from the current client connected to. (I.e. path > press CONNECT to connect > DISCONNECT to disconnect > and CONNECT to reconnect, ... ) How would this be done?

I am wondering if anyone has had luck prusing the notions U90 presented above. I think it would be very useful to have this capability inside this TCP/IP function, for re-connection to server without reloading script Smile

Can anyone see if this last requests is possible? It seems like a easy to do thing, but appears to be harder in execution than it seems. Confused
