csocket on local host

[liorco1]

Hi all,
I created csocket client on a LOCAL HOST.
Everything is fine exept when I take the LAN connection off
the message sending fail!!
Can I avoid this fail if I use LOCAL HOST socket ?
What is the relation to the LAN if I'm using LOCAL HOST connection ?


Thanks,
Lior.

I somehow do not understand your question....if there is no network connection, then message cannot be sent...I do not see a problem with that but rather would expect a failure in this case.

May be I did not catch your real problem here... :confused:

Hi,
Both Client & Server are in the SAME PC.

Even on localhost, you need a valid network connection!

It does not have to be connected to another PC, just something to make the card happy.

There are a number of drivers out there that are "virtual network cards" to address this issue, if you want/need to simulate a network.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
All I need is to send 6 bytes messages from c++ application to
a java application.
Is there a better way to do it ? I need a quick responding was!

Thanks,
Lior.

The network settings for Windows 2000 and XP are different than for the older operating systems like NT. Thus, in this case you need to have a connection...

If you have control over the code, and seeing as both processes are running on the same machine, why not just use another form of IPC like a filemapping.

Hi,
The messaging rate can be high and the files can be overwrite before the server side performs the handle.
