Service not working in Network?

hi all,

I have written a C# Service which is a Server accepting Clients,It is
working fine when i connect from localhost but when i connect from any other
machine to my machine , the service is not working, the Service is in
"Network Service".....i even tried "Local System" and also "Local Service"
but the end result is , it is working only for Localhost connections and not
for Remote Connections...

the code for server is as follows..

////////////************Ser ver Code starts here**********//////////////////
IPAddress ipAddress = Dns.Resolve("lo calhost").Addre ssList[0];
TcpListener listener = new TcpListener(ipA ddress,portNum) ;
try
{
listener.Start( );
TcpClient handler = listener.Accept TcpClient();
////extra things done here
}
////////////************Ser ver Code starts here**********//////////////////

but the remote connections are not getting connected...... .why so?

with regards,
C.C.Chakkaradee p

How would you like your clients to connect if you bind your listener to
'localhost' which resolves to 127.0.0.1?
You have to use your real host name, not the loopback address.

I wouldn't know, but I guess it's more likely a bug than a network problem.
I would try to telnet with your service (telnet servername port), to see
wheter it's a server or a client issue.

There must be something wrong in your C# client, step through it in the
debugger and look where it waits.

Hi all I need to create a windows service that will wait for a file to be copied somewhere, write it to the database, and then move the file to a storage area.

Hi, I am working on a project that requires a Windows Service which performs the following file transfer functions. 1. It monitors a specific local directory on a Windows 2003 Server. 2.

It copies those files to the appropriate workstations on the LAN,

Can a vb program running as a serice not use network paths to do file/io? I can't seem to get my program to work with network paths and files. When I use local disk it works fine. When I run it as a none service program it works fine. I'm assuming that vb programs running as a service do not support network paths. Is that true? Thanks in advance.
