Dear all,

machine. When following code is executed windows firewall pops up. Is there
any possibility to use sockets without a risk to be blocked by firewall.

You need to use the Windows firewall API to open a port to yourself to make
it work in all cases.

Yes, it's a pain.

Hi Carl,
is there any simple sort of IPC between managed and unmanaged on local
machine which is bidirectional, fast and don't care firewalls?
Thanks a lot,
Boni

Named pipes would seem a logical choice. Another option would be something
custom built using shared memory.

These articles might help you.

http://www.codeproject.com/threads/anonpipe1.asp

The .NET articles are in C#. if you use MC++ or C++/CLI for your managed app
you can simply translate them. the classes and methods stay the same.

Hi, I'm writing a program using sockets, but it doesn't work if the host/server has a firewall/router (don't know if only the client has a firewall) I get a "unable to open IO stream" error at runtime. Is their anyway to handle this? I heard something about proxies? Is it the thing? If it is, then how do you use them with sockets in java? -- Programmers should realize their critical importance and responsibility in a world gone...

I've designed a C# application consisting of two EXEs: a client and server. The server runs on my Win2000 Server box, and the client runs on my customers' machines -- typically XP.

The connection takes place on port 20198 (TCP). My server app was coded in such a way that only 10...

I am new to Python and have been writing some socket based programmes on Windows (with some success), however I am unable to get them to work on Mac. Are there differences in the way the socket module works on Windows and Mac? I would appreciate any simple code samples people my have for creating a very basic server on Macpython, I have copied code from various tutorials but as yet they don't appear to work. Thanks,

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
