ok, im using a router.. and i got the winsock to work. its been working for awhile.. then my friend uses the router as well(plugs cable in) to do hw right here.
i try running my program as usual, that usually works.. and it doesnt.
my new router ip is .102 instead of .100 like normal, but my true IP is the same. i tried unplugging it and testing it, but no change.
i tried forwarding the same port on 192.168.1.102, instead of 192.168.1.100 but no luck.
any ideas? PLEASE!
What exactly is the problem?
Do you only have problems with getting data from the internet, through your router, to the PC? (incoming)
Do you have problems sending data withing your LAN?
Do you have problems getting data from your PC to the internet? (outgoing)
With 'true ip', do you mean the router's ip on the WAN side?
What do you mean with the 'router ip'?
Is that the ip your PC gets from the router through DHCP?
Or is it the router's ip on the LAN side?
How are ip adresses regulated in your LAN? Fixed? DHCP?
If there are only problems with incoming traffic then that may be a forwarding issue on the router.
Check your forwarding rules.
What options does the router provide?
Can it assign the same ip to the same mac instead of handing them out at random?
What if you give your PC a fixed ip and exclude that from the router's DHCP pool?
i checked around a bit, and i think i got it. thanks for your suggestions. however, i am truly sorry I was not clear enough. When I say "true ip" i mean, the ip you get from whatsmyip.org, which is used for the winsock control when others outside your network have to connect to you. my "router ip" is the ip that you get when you have a router.. what it shows up as. this may be my internet provider specific, but i always get a 192.168.1.100 or something.
