Hi
I'm starting with network classes of Squeak and having some trouble.
I've tried to execute the following code in Workspace Window:
Socket ping: 'www.cnn.com <http://www.cnn.com>'
and after a few seconds a dialog box poped up with the following
message: 'Continue to wait for connection to desktop?'
I cannot imagine what is wrong. My connection to the Internet is
working perfectly. I can ping the host www.cnn.com
<http://www.cnn.com> using the Windows Command Prompt.
Well... look at the code!
Socket>>ping: hostName
"Ping the given host. Useful for checking network connectivity. The
host must be running a TCP echo server."
In other words, Socket>>ping does not do a "normal" ICMP ping, but
rather tries to connect to a remote server running an echo service on
TCP port 7.
Try telnetting to that server on port 7 and see what happens.
Michael.
