It works now. Thanks for your help.

I understand that when both the client and server are on the same machine I use 127.0.0.1. I've gotten that to work. My goal though is for it to work when the client and server are on different...

That's how I originally thought the connection was supposed to work. The problem (as I stated some posts back) is that when I have the server listen on any IP other than 127.0.0.1 a SocketException...

I'm a little confused now. I fixed the port mistake, but I don't quite get what you mean when you say there's something wrong with my IP. I AM supposed to be listening on the localhost correct? The...

Good I'm glad to hear that. Well here's my specific problem. Every time I enter a remote IP to listen on the TcpListener refuses to start and throws a SocketException. I've tried both...

Ok I got that working. One more thing though. I was only able to connect to the local host using sockets. Is it possible to connect to a remote IP?

Ok I'm a little unfamiliar with that class. I'm able to set up the client side ok but I can't figure out how to get the listener to retrieve and save the bytes as they're coming in.

I've been trying to make a program over the past week that reads a file and sends it via Winsock to another IP. I've had luck with Winsock in transferring small portions of text but I can't seem to...
