Network / Having Trouble with SocketTCP::Connect

« on: July 02, 2010, 11:22:16 pm »

Thanks for your fast reply!
Can i find out which ports are opened? Maybe with a SFML function?
And how do other programs connect me to servers (like my browser or online games)? Do they use the same TCP/Port system?

Network / Having Trouble with SocketTCP::Connect

« on: July 02, 2010, 10:11:54 pm »

I used the example program of the chat client/server with TCP Ports. Just like this:

Code: [Select]


//Server:
sf::SocketTCP Server;
Server.Listen(Port); //returns true

//Client
sf::IPAddress ServerAddress("An IP");
sf::SocketTCP Client;
Client.Connect(Port, ServerAddress); //Error

If I connect to my own LAN-IP Adress, the program works. If I connect to 127.0.0.1, the program works.
But if i try to connect to someone else's internet IP or even my own Internet IP, I cannot get a connection.
I think my firewall is blocking this connection attempt. But I also cannot connect with Ports that work in other programs for me.
Do I have to call another function which "unblocks" the port or something?
