Another Connection Refused.

[wolfguy]

Both machines are Win XP boxes, Firewall disabled.

What I find odd is that I can connect to local host but if I use the machines IP, I get a connection refused... There is not firewall on this machined. So I am stuck.

I can connect via telnet from the local machine by my second machine can not. (again looks like a blasted firewall) But I am not finding it.

I think this is my D-Link router that is blocking the access but the previous version works fine using the 2 machine setup.
I have a D-Link 4 port router. (Open for ideas on this, there is nothing in its config that is firewall spacific but there is a spot to open EXTERNAL ports)

.net framework is on both machines.

Ok.. thats odd.. why is it listening on Local Host?
How do I change this?

[MQSEQ2]

Don't use 127.0.0.1

[wolfguy]

Ok... dumb question... the server goes to that automaticly.. how do I change that?

[NovaUSC]

go here and read the info on setting in the IP address

http://seq.sourceforge.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=4642

[slartibartfast]

Hmmm the server picks an address to listen to, so there is nothing a user can do to change the server behavior.


I had a quick look in the .Net help and found a reference for the local address "IPAddress.Any", which can be used to make a server listen on all available interfaces.

It may be better to use this for the server when creating the listener.

In cSocketServer.AcceptThread change

IPAddress localAddr = IPAddress.Parse(GetIpAddress);

IPAddress localAddr = IPAddress.Any;

<EDIT>
Hmm since this is supposed to be a generic sockets class maybe it would be better to use IPAddress.Any if no IPAddress is specified.


IPAddress localAddr;
if (GetIpAddress != null && GetIpAddress.Length > 0)
localAddr = IPAddress.Parse(GetIpAddress);
else
localAddr = IPAddress.Any;

Then change the

pSocketServer.Start(localIPAddress, settings.Port, ...

to

pSocketServer.Start(null, settings.Port, ...

</EDIT>

[MQSEQ2]

Thanks Slart I will add that to the Server ASAP.

[MQSEQ2]

Ok I added it and it appears to be working fine with that code with the local loopback and real IP address.

Thanks

FYI




IPAddress localAddr;
if (GetIpAddress != null && GetIpAddress.Length > 0)
localAddr = IPAddress.Parse(GetIpAddress);
else
localAddr = IPAddress.Any;


will only execute the localAddr = IPAddress.Any; code since IPAddress localAddr; is initialized without anything so it's allways null.

I tried several times and never could get it to hit localAddr = IPAddress.Parse(GetIpAddress);, I left it all in there so if it ever does it will be there.

[wolfguy]

OK.. I'm tired and fustraighted...

I have same issue. From the machine SERVER is running on. I can connect to localhost but I still can not connect using the IP.

Using Telnet works to Local host but not the machines IP.

For some stupid reason My computer won't allow the connection.
The server will only allow local host to connect.

I know I am either doing something completely wrong of I have missed something some where.

It is something in the communications protocols because it works on local host but IP.

I redownloaded the beta version of the 2.0.1 server (1/28/04 date)

Port is 5555

Could this be my Router blocking port traffic?
If so, then why does the pre-2.0 version work.


Call me an idiot later... here is the newest sever log... there was a problem with the IP info..

Ok.. I duplicated it with a Fresh install

The IP error pops up when telneting in on localhost..

Dont worry about it at the moment wulfguy, you found a bug, which will hopefully be fixed in 2.0.2.


The pertinant part of the error log was:

01/29/2004 22:53:59:01 - Entering StartServer
01/29/2004 22:53:59:03 - Starting Server on: 127.0.0.1
01/29/2004 22:53:59:03 - Entering in CSocketServer.Start()

Since the server was listening on the private loop back address, and not its real public address, you would not be able to connect to the server from a 2nd machine.

Also you would not be able to connect using the real IP address from the server as that represents a different interface to the one the server is listening on.

The IPAddress.Any change should fix your problem, but you will either need to fix the code yourself, or wait for MQSEQ to release the next version.

Slart is correct and hopefully 2.0.2 will fix your issue.

[wolfguy]

OH... damn didn't realize that I did that.. and MYSEQ2 message said he added it so I thought it was in the beta that had the 1/28 date on it... silly me.

I'll shut up and wait on next version, thanks guys.

I thought we were doing port 6969 with the 2.x stuff...

[MQSEQ2]

We are doing Port 6969 but the original 2.0.0 was still set to 5555 but I fixed that

[wolfguy]

Plus you can edit that number, but you have to remember to edit it in both the server and the client.

I tried the 2.0.2 version and its working wonderfully.
