<DIV><FONT size=2>I have read the previous discussion, last year, on the subject
of sockets. I am familiar with sockets under UNIX.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>What I need to do in the short term is quite simple. I want to
set up a peer to peer UDP conversation between two machines, both of them
windows 2000. Clearly it would be just as easy for one to be a UNIX box, once
the protocol is working.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The problem I have is that I am using the simple socket
example the previous discussion gave and I get a -1 from the connect.
SocketError gives me no help as it returns a 0, suggesting it all
worked.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Ultimately I would like to get sockets working for IPV6
between two cooperating processes - though actually this is one sub-goal to
getting a proper conversation going with the SMTP port with MS Exchange
tnef.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Has anybody got some working code that sets up an internet
socket on one side, then exchanges messages (prefereably with UDP, though TCP is
fine)? I am sure that this should be fairly simple, but the documentation is
sparce in the extreme which makes it a little more of a challenge!</FONT></DIV>
