RE: using TCPServer/TCPSocket implementing server/client application in win32?

In the server you are listening on port 127.0.0.1 (localhost) and the
client tries to connect to your NIC (192.168.1.10) they are different
addresses.  If you want the server to listen to all devices (localhost,
NICs, etc) specify the address:
 
ss = TCPServer.new '0.0.0.0', 9090   # note that the port should be an
integer and not a string.
 
Then the client should work
 
Hope this helps,
 
Rich

Dear guys:
 
I hope you can tell me why I can't use TCPSocket implementing
server/client application in win32 network environment.
 
When both server and client are under irb, they work well. But in
server.rb/client.rb form, just when connecting, the client get an
exception as: 'No connection could be made because the target machine
actively refused it. - "connect(2)" (Errno::E10061)'
 
The server.rb/client.rb are as follows:
 
(server.rb)
require 'socket'
ss=TCPServer.new 'localhost','9090'
con=ss.accept
while !con.eof?
 puts con.gets
end
 
(client.rb)
require 'socket'
ss=TCPSocket.new '192.168.1.10','9090'
 ss.puts 'I'
 ss.puts 'Have'
 ss.puts 'A'
 ss.puts 'Dream'
 ss.puts '--Chai'
 


What's the problem? what should I use for server/client application in
win32 then?
 
Thank you very very much.
 
Sincerely,
Xinwei
