The sample code works very well.
Thank you very much for posting it here.
---
The only improvement that could be helpful to others would be to make 1 program to allow either side of the connection to be the host or the client depending on which side initiated the connection.
---
All in all... very nice Server and Client Chat Programs.
Thanks again!

Alex,
If you look at the code you will find that it is set to use port 5000. (TCP/IP Winsock calls.)
* See the Client Program on this line of code: cli.sin_port=htons(5000);
* See the Server Program on this line of code: serv.sin_port=htons(5000);
You simply find the internal intranet address for "Server" PC and open port 5000 for inbound and outbound traffic on that PC via the Router and/or your software firewall program.
You would do the same if you want to allow port 5000 on your "Home" PC to connect to the "Server" PC.
It is pretty easy to do.

nice work u've submitted
fairly simple to figure out
but for some people, it'd be nice if u
- formatted code im a more readable format
- included comments
- gave variables a more meaningful name
(i know it was last updated in 2002, but hey its still pretty useful)
apart from that, nice work *thumbs up*

i learn my ip form www.whatsmyip.org and i wrote it to client program's server ip textbox.
but it cannot connect to the server although server runs. normally, if i use 127.0.0.1 they can communicate with each other. whats the problem? i suppose the problem is these programs use a port that windows don't open it to internet..
can anybody help me?
|

Maybe your program is behind the firewall.

i am a beginer to socket programming, i read your article i think it the best for beginers like me,
my question is i want the application to act as server and client simultaneously, and can chat with multiple peers simultaneously. what should i do to make the application work in the above mentioned way,
thanks and bye.

While learning, it would be best to do ONLY 1 server and 1 client.
When you start to go beyond 1 to 1 connections, that gets a bit tricky to send and receive the messages between multiple connections. Especially when you have people coming and going in the Text Chat. It can be done... but takes a lot of attention to detail to get that done. Unless you want to spend a lot of time, you might want to use programs like ICQ that do that already.
The easiest way to handle multiple connections on the server would be to have a list of connected IP Addresses, then: (1) when a message is sent out from Server send that message to each connected IP Address; or (2) when a message is received (incoming) at the Server, then send out that message to each connected IP Address except for the one that just sent the message to the server.
Keeping a list of connected IP Addresses wouldn't necessarily be difficult but you have to consider what happens when a connection is dropped, and much more.

Hi, I have a question? How to transmit image file using CSocket? I cannot figure it out.. Pls help me.... Thx
|
|
|
|

Instead of having an edit box, as in the picture, I have the IPnr 0.0.0.0 in the list. What is wrong?
|

Very nice piece of code.
I tried the code on Win 98 and It worked, but It gave me a bind error on Win XP.
Any idea what the problem might be?
|
|
|
|
|
The problem is cause i think windows xp binded the port 5000. so what you could do to get it working is to change the port to something else rather then 5000 for both client and server
|
|
|
|
|
I am using the given application but when i uses the code in my application the socket never binds and given socket = 4294967295.
But when i uses the given application it works fine, can you please guide me?

I really love this sample code on how to write a chat. Greate winsock sample. One thing though. When you write a program to communicate with a port and use threads its typically a good idea to set it's Process Priority setting high. To do this inside the thread() function in this case, near the begining put the following code:
::SetPriorityClass(::GetCurrentProcess(), REALTIME_PRIORITY_CLASS);
This makes the program much less likely to lose, or corrupt data. The previous way rarely loses information, but to be safe you should add it.
Great work though. Thanks.

i ran the server process on one machine and the client program on a different machine and did as it is told but it didnt work the client keeps waitin for the connection to establish....can u plz tell me how to make it run
|
|
|
|
|
The prog works perfect!(perhaps maybe a fixable memory leak).
You should check:
Are you using the right IP addess and port on both the Host and Client?
Are you using a firewall? If so, turn it off or make the use of the port in question possible.
I assure you it DOES work like a charm, it is on your side.

Need help in designing a client server chat application
Now, I am summing it all up. 1. The client server need to be in different processes. 2. Communicate with TCP/ip sockets. 3. Communication is secured with SSL or S-HTTP. 4. Messages recorded in a server side database by the server. 5. A time stamp for each recorded message. 6. The client can request its messages from the server and display it in its own window. But can not change the messages.

HI!
I was searching within your project why you had memory leaks when the program exited. You use AfxBeginThread, that create a thread, but create a memory leak if you use C Run-Time Library.
In MSDN, they tell to use _beginthread() / _endthread()instead of AfxBeginThread / AfxEndThread()
I tried it in your app, and it worked, so if you would like to correct it, it would be great!
bye

How to know when the ConnectionRequest occurs in the thread?
and your code has bug when client disconnected. your code always receive
from buff.
|
|
|
|
|
I agree that a bug occurs on disconnecting the socket. Maybe calling CloseSocket is too early. If you simply terminate the client program, the server side handles this perfects. This means some instances or threads are not correctly released.
