***Oops, posted in the wrong forum.
I compiled a program using a code piece i found from MSDN.
If I port scan 127.0.0.1 from my own computer, it works but what address do I need to use to connect to it from elsewhere, for example a web server?Code:#include <stdio.h> #include <windows.h> #include "winsock2.h" int main(){ // Initialize Winsock. WSADATA wsaData; int iResult = WSAStartup( MAKEWORD(2,2), &wsaData ); if ( iResult != NO_ERROR ) printf("Error at WSAStartup()\n"); // Create a socket. SOCKET m_socket; m_socket = socket( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP ); if ( m_socket == INVALID_SOCKET ) { printf( "Error at socket(): %ld\n", WSAGetLastError() ); WSACleanup(); return 0; } // Bind the socket. sockaddr_in service; service.sin_family = AF_INET; service.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr( "127.0.0.1" ); service.sin_port = htons( 27015 ); if ( bind( m_socket, (SOCKADDR*) &service, sizeof(service) ) == SOCKET_ERROR ) { printf( "bind() failed.\n" ); closesocket(m_socket); return 0; } // Listen on the socket. if ( listen( m_socket, 1 ) == SOCKET_ERROR ) printf( "Error listening on socket.\n"); // Accept connections. SOCKET AcceptSocket; printf( "Waiting for a client to connect...\n" ); while (1) { AcceptSocket = SOCKET_ERROR; while ( AcceptSocket == SOCKET_ERROR ) { AcceptSocket = accept( m_socket, NULL, NULL ); } printf( "Client Connected.\n"); m_socket = AcceptSocket; break; } // Send and receive data. int bytesSent; int bytesRecv = SOCKET_ERROR; char sendbuf[32] = "Server: Sending Data."; char recvbuf[32] = ""; bytesRecv = recv( m_socket, recvbuf, 32, 0 ); printf( "Bytes Recv: %ld\n", bytesRecv ); bytesSent = send( m_socket, sendbuf, strlen(sendbuf), 0 ); printf( "Bytes Sent: %ld\n", bytesSent ); WSACleanup(); Sleep(1000); return 0; }
