Connection Timed Out

[Pino]

Is that your class module did you write that?

I cant get through all the code and since i am not familiar with that class i cant help much, why dont you write this yourself rather than using that class? if your new to winsock then this isnt a great way to start that class can be very confusing :???:

No, I didn't write it, it came with a tutorial. It works fine when both client and server are on the same computer but you move one to a different IP and I can't get a connection. As much as I'd like to start out with winsock I can't as i'm on vb learning. If you assume that the code works exactly as the winsock control, is there anything wrong with the code that would mess with a connection? Thanks.

Arr ok I see, because I dont know this class and with work for colege etc piling up I dont have much time to go through it.

Since you have the l;earners edition have you considered looking at the Winsock API?

If you are on a lan then i can't see what the problem is.. But if your connected to the internet and trying to connect to another computer i don't think thats a valid IP is the working one. If your on a router your IP is hidden. I'm on a wireless router so if i use cmd->ipconfig the internet protocol isn't the real ip.

If your on a proxy that wont work. Another thing that could stop a computer from connecting to you/connecting to another computer is a firewall software.
