Connect to ip?

[Paul M]

You will need to use the Winsock1.SendData method.

Tanks It work but now i want to send data over the connection please give me an example. I have read some but i dident mange them to work. And when i connect it just says 127.0.0.1 and that aren't my local ip.

There are articles & tutorials all over the net explaining how to use the Winsock control.

To send data you'd put:

Winsock1.SendData "Data here"

Make sure the Winsock is connected or you will get an "invalid state" error. You could even do a simple check with an If statement:

If Winsock1.State = sckConnected Then Winsock1.SendData "Data here"

If 127.0.0.1 is showing up as your local IP then that means you either put "127.0.0.1" or "localhost" as the RemoteHost in the Connect statement.

To connect to yourself you can just use:

Winsock1.Connect Winsock1.LocalIP, 1234

How do i connect to an ip whit winsock? Or something like that in 2005?


Sorry if this i a n00b question :sick:

[AxeFestis]

And can i show on the server if there are any connected?

[DigiRev]

To connect to an IP (using TCP) use this code:

Winsock1.Close
Winsock1.Connect "123.123.123.123", 1234

Where "123.123.123.123" is the IP address and 1234 is the port number.

That will be in your client project.


On the server project, you'd have a Winsock control and the code would be something like this:

Private Sub Form_Load()
Winsock1.Close
Winsock1.LocalPort = 1234
Winsock1.Listen
End Sub

Private Sub Winsock1_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long)
Winsock1.Close
Winsock1.Accept requestID

Me.Caption = "Connected [" & Winsock1.RemoteHostIP & "]"
End Sub

That's just for accepting one connection at a time. For multiple connections, you'd have to use a control array of Winsocks on the server side.

No. There are plenty of tutorials and example code on the net that you can learn from.

Sometimes you just have to do SOMETHING yourself.

Sorry for ASKING in the forum then

[DigiRev]

I wasn't trying to sound rude, it's just there's so many people here expecting all the code to be given to them. I don't think that's what you were wanting.

I can write a very basic client/server example if you like but really, there are so many examples on the internet.

Take a look at these:
