Re: Sockets Question

[mandy.shaw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Yes, it should definitely show on netstat ... I am sorry, I can't help with
RPG, though I have done this in C/400 (client and server) and Java (client)
and could post bits of code if it would be any help.

One possibility is that, if you *have* established a connection previously
& there are connections still listed on port 7000 further down the list in
netstat (not listeners, client connection(s)), even if their jobs have
ended, these client connections may need to be ended using option 4 from
netstat - then retry starting the server.

In trying to learn more about sockets I started playing with an example
News/400 had published.  This utilized a service program SCKTPROC that
could
be bound to a module to give socket functionality to your program.  I
thought I understood the article and the concepts behind it.  However, when
I tried out the examples, with minor tweaking for my system (e.g. the IP
address for the client example had to be changed to match my AS/400), the
client fails to connect.  I have confirmed that the server job is running,
and in fact, appears to be working correctly according to the call stack.
However, when I do NETSTAT and check connections, I do not see anything on
port 7000 (the port I've assigned the server).  If a program is really
listening on the port for a connection, shouldn't it show up here?
