Problem with UDP sockets

[irshad24]

Hi All,

I am facing an issue with the UDP sockets in PPC 2003.
The sockets are created and I am able to bind also both the client and the server apps to the port and the ethereal shows that data is being transferred from the client to the server app but after the client sendto() is executed it generates an ICMP packet which says Destination/Port unreachable and the recvfrom() on the server end hangs.

I am running the server and the client on two systems connected through the cross cable. I am posting the code for both the server and the client.
Also the same code runs perfectly fine on the same setup for the desktop. It does not generate any such ICMP packets for Port unreachable and recvfrom() also successfully executes. Please help!


//===========Client.cpp===========

char *server_name= "10.112.41.5";
struct sockaddr_in si_other, self;
int s, i, slen=sizeof(si_other);
char buf[256];
WORD wVersionRequested;
WSADATA wsaData;
int err;
wVersionRequested = MAKEWORD( 2, 2 );
err = WSAStartup( wVersionRequested, &wsaData );
if ( err != 0 ) {
return FALSE;
}
if ((s=socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, IPPROTO_UDP))==-1)
{
MessageBox(NULL,L"Error Opening socket" , NULL , 0);
}

memset((char *) &si_other, sizeof(si_other), 0);
si_other.sin_family = AF_INET;
si_other.sin_port = htons(10000);
si_other.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(server_name);

int test2 = 1;
int yy = setsockopt(s, SOL_SOCKET , SO_KEEPALIVE , (char *) &test2 , (int)sizeof(test2));

if (bind(s, (struct sockaddr *)&self, sizeof(self)) == -1)
{ MessageBox(NULL,L"error binding\n" , NULL , 0);

}

memset(buf,0,256);
strcpy(buf, "Data sent to the server");
while (1)
{
if (sendto(s, buf, strlen(buf), 0, (struct sockaddr *)&si_other, slen)==-1)
{
MessageBox(NULL,L"sendto failed\n" , NULL , 0);
}
closesocket(s);
return TRUE;

{

Hi,

did you sort out the problem? I'am having a similar problem with TCP socket with ppc 2003, which works with WM5.
