Seems no one on here knows how to do it//or wants to share their knowledge so ill try and hunt down some c++ source for it instead.

AFAIK, there's not much you can do about this error ("No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.")  Are you sure you're using a TCP socket, not UDP?

You can't get that error with UDP. UDP is "connectionless."

Yes!  Don't try to figure it out for yourself!  Instead, copy someone else's work!

I think we need to start following the mantra, "If you don't have anything nice to say, then don't say anything at all."  You, as well as other people, frequently attack (usually in some pseudo-sarcastic way) others like such and it's quite annoying, especially in the Bot Development forum.  I don't mean to moderate, but this is a place where people come to be helped not ridiculed.

I usually don't do this...  but I'm in a bad mood today.

Please enlighten us with your knowledge of the protocol.

Note that in the post to which you were referring (about the protocol knowledge), I posted that 1.) I didn't know about the protocol, but 2.) I did try to attempt at a helpful suggestion.

Also, being sarcastic in this sense is an attempt to get him to do something for himself -- to better himself -- than to just dissect someone else's code.  

Granted, there are occasions where it's allright to do this.  But, we haven't begun to get in-depth and perplexed by this problem enough to warrant going to search for code.  On the other hand, this thread was dead enough to warrant bantering.  

On top of other stuff, don't tell me that I'm unhelpful.  I give a lot more here than I take.  So you can get off my back.

Well actually searching for some source code is my last resort only, i write all my code in c++ without any help usually so it's not as if im leeching off everyone thx!!

I write all my bots/programs based on my own packet analysis and not on the back of other peoples work i detest this the only reason i came on here in the first place was because i tried every avenue of testing//trial to get the code working  ( I say code working but actually it's a sequence protocol//problem really ) and i thought maybe someone on here has had a similar problem and could give me a point in the right direction.

I certainly wont bother in the future if this is the kind of response i get.

ps. btw i was'nt trying to be sarcastic.

Please don't be discouraged to post.  It's always nice to have some new faces around here that have some idea of what they're trying to accomplish.

Just a note to say i figured out the problem it was down to my connection code which by default connects asynchronously, although this worked fine for the realm and bnchat servers the game servers must be not be registered with any dns servers and consequently the resolved information being returned from async dns lookup WSAXX functions was incorrect and led to the faillure.

Thx for the ideas and responses it got me thinking and helped out.
