Winsock and File Transfers

[DataMiser]

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 way I have it setup my server listens on the localhost and the client connects to it via the server's remote IP.

The client would use the address of the server. If your server address is 127.0.0.1 as in your example above then your client would have to use 127.0.0.1

For example If you want to connect to Google you will not get there by typing in Yahoo.

Btw you can also use the machine name rather than a hard coded IP address. Works much better especially when the IP is DHCP controlled.

Dim hInfo As IPHostEntry = Nothing
Dim hIPAddress As IPAddress = Nothing
hInfo = Dns.GetHostEntry("Machine Name Here")
hIPAddress = hInfo.AddressList(0)
