trying to make a chat server\client using winsock, win2k, vb6sp5. works great in the programming enviroment but doesnt work for diddly outside it. seems to not grab the port (server) or connect (client). both apps start fine and seem to be doing what they should but if i check something like netstat the port isnt listening. tried using both WAN and LAN ips with same results. any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

server
sckListen.LocalPort = ServerPort '6667
sckListen.Listen
client
If Winsock1.State <> sckClosed Then Winsock1.Close
Winsock1.Connect Text2.Text, 6667 'text2 is temp because of dhcp. will change to static ip later.

FIREWALL Are you using a firewall you will find its allowing VB but not your app once compiled maybe.... yes, AG. i thought about the firewall too. even shut it down. same thing. both server and client work fine inside the enviro. client now responds with connection forcefully rejected if run as exe and server inside enviro. server still will not work right as exe at all. even tried loopback addy. nada. aint the first winsock ive done. others including my bots worked fine outside the enviro. just this one got me bulloxed. |
