i have implemented a small client server model to do file transfer

It work with some machines on the network and on others it doesnt.
when i run the server.py file in some machine then it pops up a

The message is as follows:
Do you want to keep blocking this program?
there are three options below it. 1. Keep Blocking 2. Unblock 3. Ask
Me later.
I selected the option unblock.Even then the client and server are
not
able to communicate.
I get a error saying that:-
socket.error: (10060, 'Operation timed out')
I guess its a firewall problem... How do i go abt it?????
any help? --
does it work if you temporarily switch off the firewall?

HI arno ,
In the firewall setting i have unblocked this program and tried. But
it works on some machines on the LAN and doesnt work on other
machines.
Even if the firewall is on it work on some machines. So narrowing down
on the problem seems tough here....
any ideas?

yeah a million ideas...
really it sounds like a firewall problem, specially cu it work on one
machine but not on the other.
try switch it off completely... obviously "unblocking" doesn't seem to
do the job
if it works on one machine, the code is obviously ok
i assume you;re on a windows machine?
to mention some other possible reasons,
are you using an IP or DNS name?
maybe the firewall blocks the DNS server and can't retrieve an IP for
the server?
can you access the internet from those machines?
maybe the machine is not on the same subnet as the server
can you ping the server?
for more reasons i'm afraid you have to try another list
since this doesn't sound like a python problem
and i'm definitely not a windows guru (only osx, linux and freebsd here)
