Hi,
I have written connection less socket server app and client app, using ICMP protocol, though client and server are able to communicate with each other..(ServerApp and Client App are running on two different machines on a network....)
Environment that I am working on is : Window7 operating system and Visual studio 2005..langauge:C++/VC++
Socket functions used : Rawsockets, ICMP protocol, bind, sendto, recvfrom.
Objective : The connectionless socket server should able to respond to the client, At the server side I should able see all the values that are sent by the client...vice versa..Also Ethereal Network Analyzer should show correct values..I mean for EchoRequest , it should be EchoRequest, and for EchoReply it should show EchoReply..
Issue1 : Socket Server App is unable to respond with out a IPHeader, I mean, Do I need to send IPHeader along with ICMP Header in a EchoRequest structure as shown below:
Below is the EchoRequest structure that will be send from the client
typedef struct tagECHOREQUEST
{
IPHDR ipHdr; -> //is it required
ICMPHDR icmpHdr;
DWORD dwTime;
char cData[REQ_DATASIZE];
}ECHOREQUEST
Issue2: Though ClientApp and Serever App are able to communicate each other, Ethereal window captures EchoReply for both EchoRequest and EchoReply as shown in the screen shot below..Please let me know why this is happening.. How can I get right message...
Issue3:...(Why this happens, please let me know..) if fill the values for IPHeader and send the EchoRequest to the Server App, though client is able to coomunicate with server, it also reads the correct values into ipReplyHdr(i.e into second IPHDR as shown below in the EchoReply strcture) , but it returns the ICMP source quench message.. Ethereal window also shows the Source Quech (flow control)..,some of the values that are read into IPHDR(i.e First member in EchoReply Structure) are incorrect, not all. it has read all correct values into ICMPHeader...(First IPHeader values are partially correct, second IPHeader values are completly correct, it also read correct values into ICMP Header)..
Issue4:...(Is it correct?) if I send only IPHeader without filling values, Server App receives the messsage, but receiving EchoReply structure should contain two IPHeader members as shown below, where recvfrom function receives values only into ipHdr(some of the value in the IPHdr are incorrect) , then If I readValues into ICMPHDR member,immediately after that, all values are zero.. looks like Ethereal is taking these values into consideration and showing echoreply for EchoRequest..
Filled IPHeader : I mean assigning values to IPHeader members as shown below:
echoReq.ipHdr.Version = 0x4; //IPversion..
echoReq.ipHdr.TOS = 0; // Type Of Service
echoReq.ipHdr.TotLen = htons(sizeof(echoReq)); // Total Length
echoReq.ipHdr.ID = htons(0); // Identification
echoReq.ipHdr.FlagOff = htons(0); // Flags and Fragment Offset
echoReq.ipHdr.TTL = 255; // Time To Live
echoReq.ipHdr.Protocol = IPPROTO_ICMP; // Protocol
echoReq.ipHdr.Checksum = 0; // Checksum
echoReq.ipHdr.iaSrc.S_un.S_addr = inet_addr(strSourceIpAddr); //SourceAddr
echoReq.ipHdr.iaDst.S_un.S_addr = inet_addr(strIpAddr); // DestinationAddr
echoReq.ipHdr.Checksum = in_cksum((u_short*)&echoReq.ipHdr,sizeof (echoReq.ipHdr));
Only IPHeader, I mean with out assigning any of those above values, I just would be sending only member of IPHEADER..
// ICMP Echo Reply..
typedef struct tagECHOREPLY
{
IPHDR ipHdr;
IPHDR ipReplyHdr;
ICMPHDR icmpHdr;
DWORD dwTime;
char cData[REQ_DATASIZE];
char cFiller[256];
}ECHOREPLY,*PECHOREPLY;
Issue5: (How does this work...)When Server App sends the EchoReply back to the Client App, Client App receives the message succesully, in this case, I am not sending any IPHEADER, as I did for ECHOREQUEST..
I just think, problem will be solved, if recvfrom function on the server side is able to respond to sendTo function, without having IPHeader member into theEchoRequest structure, as of now I am including IPHeader member into the EchoRequest structure, but recvfrom function on the server side does not respond to sendTo function without having IPHeader. (EchoRequest structure is shown above..)..
Also I have attached code for both server and client at the bottom..
Below I have placed entire code both from Server App and Client App, First one is server side code(both header file and cpp file, later one is server code(both header and cpp file)..
ClientApp (Header file)..

Hi,
I published asp.net files in a windows xp which is in a network. Its working fine in the local system, but it is not accessible in other systems in the network. The message shows page not found.
Where is the problem? Need to give any web sharing privileges?
Thankyou,

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to setup an application in Citrix that opens automatically when the user logs into the Citrix Web Interface?
|
|
|
|
|
|
I have just installed hMailServer to enable me to test my PHP code wants to send mail using smtp on localhost port 25, but some parts of the setup procedure and instructions1 are not clear.
Guides say, "Add a domain localhost.localdomain". This seems to be horribly over simplified. What domain do I add? I at least need some DNS here, even if it's just host file based.
I want to relay outgoing mail to my Google Apps account at smtp.gmail.com. I have set up my account settings in the hMailServer SMTP Relayer settings, but may I assume that all mail without an account on my local test domain will be relayed?
When I use the Swift mailer in PHP code to send to localhost, I get no errors in my client code, and I see no mail in the outgoing queue, and nothing in the hMailServer log, yet I receive no mail on my google account. The google account works fine if I set Swift Mailer to send straight to smtp.gmail.com, so what else could be wrong here?

Dear All,
My requirement contains an windows application that can be installed any where over the world but the server will be in one place which will be accessed via internet.
Note : the same db will be accessed from web application also for reporting.
I plan to use MSSQL 2005 version and my db has image datatype also.
I have plan to hire a dedicated server with mssql and databases to accomplish these things and save the data there.
Now i need your suggestion for best practice.
1) for perfomance
2) using image datatypes as it will take time to transfer.
if this plan is the right one can you please suggest some of good and effecient data centres that you know, and if its not good plan please suggest me the right plan..
thanks in advance.

Well if your budget is good, you can very well afford to hire someone to work on performance.

Hi,
When i access the my application from in normal environment i.e. without citrix, the location of context menu strip is as expected.
But when i access it using Citrix, the location of the context menu strip is incorrect. The x location of the context menu strip is correct but the y location is always at the top of the screen.
I am using for Descktop virtulization.
Thanks in Advance.

my target users will be from india.
now, will it be good to host with 1and1.Please guide me.

I will suggest bigrock.in
Go with linux hosting and use phpBB forum

i have created a server(tcp socket)...now i want to load a text file of usernames and password into the server...help please!
i am doing socket programming for first time
|
|
|
|
|
So what's your question? What have you coded or tried? You have to provide more info, this is too vague to answer.
|
|
|
|
|
hi friend,
First of all,you should keep updation in the topics(ICP\Ip protocols) and make a great knowledge about the serial ports are used in socket programming...
thanks & regards..
Best of luck....

I'm looking for cheap asp hosting has anyone tried this site dotnet-host.com
Thanks in advance
|
|
|
|
|
I'm looking at it, too.
No one has done it yet? 
|
|
|
|
|
I have not tried them either. I like the pricing but, if it's not reliable, then........
Frazzle the name say's it all
