hi, I have typed in some code from th said book, the net04.dbpro one in the network programming chapter, but after running it all, it hosts ok, and can list connections with the client connecting ok, but neither the host nor the client receives the messages!














I type in my case 192.168.0.4 as the host I.P have ublocked the firewalls and even turned them both off when that didnt work! So I have no ideas... Thanks for any help

Hail to the king, baby!

Wow these are ancient networking commands; I could not help you because I use Dark NET; TGCs networking plugin created by Michael P. Another popular networking plugin is Multisync.

I am sure someone out there will assist you with your native networking problem shortly.

If you look in the bottom right hand corner of the Multisync post, there's a download button that still works
Have fun playing around with it, I hope it works better for you. To be honest, as Chris said, the DBPro commands are ancient. A year or so back I tried playing with them and found them as buggy as hell... Probably best to go for something more reliable
Good luck!

EDIT: Also, just noticed if you scroll a few comments down, someone has posted an example of a simple chat server/client using Multisync!

ah yeh of course .. thanks! I have since tested the server client examples of multisync and they work fine, so i guess it must be darkbasic pro's dodgy network functions, the only small beef i have over multisync is that there seemed to be lag, but that could just be my network i guess, with half a dozen things connected to it!

I've not used multisync since 2009; does it have UDP protocol commands?
