I am trying to communicate between a server and client using TCP sockets.
Server code:
import socket
import sys
# Create a TCP/IP socket
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
# Bind the socket to the port
server_address = ('my-server-ipadress', 1999)
print >>sys.stderr, 'starting up on %s port %s' % server_address
sock.bind(server_address)
sock.listen(1)
try:
print >>sys.stderr, 'connection from', client_address
# Receive the data in small chunks and retransmit it
while True:
data = connection.recv(16)
print >>sys.stderr, 'received "%s"' % data
if data:
print >>sys.stderr, 'sending data back to the client'
connection.sendall(data)
else:
print >>sys.stderr, 'no more data from', client_address
break
finally:
# Clean up the connection
connection.close()
Client code:
from socket import *
clientsocket = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM)
clientsocket.connect(("my-server-ip-address",1999))
recv = clientsocket.recv(1024)
print(recv)
It is working fine on a local connection. The problem I am facing is when I run
the client code on my laptop (using my home wifi network)and try to communicate
with the remote server, it is not able connect to the server. What could be the
problem ? Any changes in the code required, or do I need to disable firewall on
my laptop ?
The error I get is, error: [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because
the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
