From a previous post I was working on a mutli-user supported Chat/Server app, I coded the server and the chat client and they both work on my upstairs computer (they can send and recieve chat)
Heres my dilemma:
I keep the server running upstairs since I run the dyndns host, for reference sake lets say my account is: cf.ath.cx
On the server Portion I put with the connection sequence
winsock1.LocalPort= 6666
winsock1.listen
So the server is listening for data.
On my client portion I have:
winsock1.remotehost= "cf.ath.cx"
winsock1.remoteport=6666
winsock1.connect
Now If I take my Client part of the app downstairs to my other computer and try to run it. I get a run-time error on the connect sequence, it says socket is forcefully rejected
I would appreciate any help that could point out what I'm doing wrong.
thanks
Edit: Code tags didn't work with my post, sorry about them not being in tags.
On the server computer run a packet sniffer and see if they're even connecting. If not, try pinging it to make sure there's no network problems.
Are you running a firewall on the host?
Did you set the protocols to sckTCPProtocol on both server and client?
Can the client PC ping the server PC?
