Re: TCP Sockets over Wireless

Also one of the strange side effects, if the wireless adaptor is
enabled then the connection cannot be made, while if it is disabled the
connection is fine (while in the cradle obviously).

annoying side effect of blocking other traffic - in short I can't be
bothered to setup a proper set of firewall rules for a domestic
router...

Although I can still demo the project without the network functionality
it would be very useful...

I'm guessing firewall, as Chris mentioned. Works fine for me.

I am working with C# compact framework and have written some code which
allows communication over the socket layer, however I have encountered
the strange problem that I can only communicate over a physical dock
connection not WiFi. At the moment I have set the IP to be 192.168.0.4
which is the address my laptop running the server which the PocketPC is
trying to connect to.

I'm using the following code:

private string svraddress;
private int svrport;
private Socket connection;

IPEndPoint ip = new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Parse(svraddress), svrport);
connection = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream,
ProtocolType.Tcp);
connection.Connect(ip);
connection.Send(data);

I'm guessing that this may be some sort of DNS problem with resolving
the local network IP?

Any ideas/pointers appreciated...
