Hello,

I'm making a remote desktop application (server, client and remote pc versions) but so far I'm making the server and client ones. I have 3 problems though:

* The client cannot send (+ the server receive) on port 55555 at the same time.
* When the client connects to the server, the client freezes for no reason.
* When the server detects that the client has connected, a listbox containing the connected clients does not update.

I've tried everything I can to get these problems sorted but I just can't. Please download the 2 attached projects (contains '.exe's) and hopefully you'll be able to see the problem straight away!

Contains EXE's? Why? Sorry, but who would do it and take the risk? Including EXEs is a really bad thing. If someone wants to help, this person can always use just the source code.

Forgive my friend Sergey, he lacks a lot of diplomacy however it does not mean that I don't agree with what he wrote. PLEASE do not post EXE files as it puts us at risk since we do not know what your EXE's contain.

Post the code you use to "Wait" for a connection and the code you use to "Make" a connection. Alternatively you may want to post your source code.

In the mean time, have you tried using other ports ? Use Google to find a list of all Non-Reserved TCP ports and try some of them.
Is your Firewall allowing connections to the port you have selected ?
Are you using TCP or UDP connections - TCP is slower than UDP.
