I have a test application that transfers files from a client to a
server. I've been locally testing this on my local LAN and it has been
working fine. However, when I try to transfer a file over the internet
(with the port opened up in the router, no firewalls), it never
connects. I'm thinking it is due to the TcpListener only binding to my
local LAN ip. I tried binding it to my internet IP manually and by
using gethostbyname(g ethostname).add resslist(0) as well as using
ipaddress.any, but the client never connects to my machine. An error
occurs on the client's end saying it wasn't able to connect and timed
out, etc, etc.
Is there something I'm missing? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks
in advance

Hello ms****@gmail.co m,
You have to tell your router to forward any incoming packets on port (whatever)
to your internal address. Check your router manual for NAT settings.

I've done that already. I have it forwarding both TCP and UDP even to
my internal IP.
Nevermind, it seems I overlooked a previous entry in my port forwarding
where I had used the same test port before and had it forwarded to
another machine on my LAN. Changed that, and works great now.

OK, so I have a TcpListener that is waiting for sockets, this piece of code:
IPAddress localAddress = Dns.GetHostByName(Dns.GetHostName()).AddressList;
IPEndPoint localEP = new IPEndPoint(localAddress, 9000);
TcpListener tcpListen = new TcpListener(localEP);
tcpListen.Start();
Socket skt = tcpListen.AcceptSocket();
.... do some socket stuff
skt.Close();

1. Create a TcpListener
2. Start a child Process
3. Kill the parent process
=> You can't bind to the port until you close the child process
Variant :
3. Terminate normally the parent process
=> The parent process stays as "Running" until the child process is
closed

Hi,
I am working on a client-server app. I can get two applications to talk to
each other on the same machine using 127.0.0.1, but as soon as I try it
using a computer name or actual IP address I get a SocketException: "No
connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it".
On the server I have a listener:
Private m_Listener As TcpListener
m_Listener = New TcpListener(IPAddress.Parse("127.0.0.1"), 8000)

I have the following example of a tcpListener. I have a device external to

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
