Can not connect TCP socket (to server)

[Uncle_Mike]

Hi.
From my Client application I try connect to my Server application.

Client code:

Code: [Select]


sf::SocketTCP ClientSock;
sf::IPAddress ServerIP;

   ServerIP=sf::IPAddress(123, 456, 123, 456);// for example

if (ClientSock.Connect(4567, ServerIP,5) != sf::Socket::Done)
{
cout << "Client connection to server **** Error ****";
return false;
}
else
{
cout << "Client connection to server OK!";
}


But connection is Error!
What is problem?
Server Listener is ok, and is working properly.
My FireWall is unblocked...

Assuming that's directly copy-pasted:

Code: [Select]

ServerIP=sf::IPAddress(123, 456, 123, 456);// for example

Should probably be

Code: [Select]

ServerIP=sf::IPAddress(127, 0, 0, 1);// Connect to the local host

If you don't know what an IP Address is, it's basically your computer's location on the internet. "127.0.0.1" means "local host" or "this computer".

No, Server is internet host.
Address is the same as can be get by sf::IPAddress::GetPublicAddress().

Are you running the server and client on the same computer?
Or on the same network?

[Uncle_Mike]

No! Of course no! There are separate computers, and They are locate in different buildings.

[VPellen]

Hmm.

Try running your client app and the server app on the same computer with the server IP being localhost. If that works, then the problem isn't SFML, but rather a router or network issue.
