Re: Sockets server problem

[Kathy@xxxxxxxxxx]

Scott,

Thanks for helping me. I have written a couple of socket programs using
your tutorial and everything works great. So I understand the phone
analogy. But this is my first server program so I'm not sure if the problem
is something I'm doing or  a problem in communications between me and the
client. This is what I have running:

MakeListener  (which connects on port 9700)

Dow 1 = 1
Accept Connection (which creates a new socket on another port? say 1490)
Talk to client (accept the data and send acknowlegement back)
Close Socket (which was created in the accept connection  say 1490)
Enddo

The client says this works once. When they try to send another message
(through port 9700), it fails. They tell me that their second message trys
to come in on 1490 again, even tho I closed that one. This makes no sense
to me but what do I know. Being a beginner on sockets I want to make sure
that this is what I should be doing.

Is is possible that they are trying to send the second message through port
1490? I didn't think that they would even know about that one. What if the
close didn't work correctly? Would their second messgage still be trying to
come in through 1490?

Thanks again,
Kathy
