Re: Simple Sockets?

I'm taking the scripts posted by Kevin on 6 Nov and Mark on 1 Jan as my starting point. I'm hoping to use the same stack on both computers, each acting as both a host and a client. Here are some simple/stupid questions: 1) is there a reverse of the "accept" command, i.e. the facility to stop the host from accepting connections? Close the port that you have "accept" on. eg: accept connections on port "8080" with message "sockOpen" close socket "8080" 2) is there any way of finding out the IP address of the current computer a stack is running on without making a socket connection to another machine? Not that I know. Regards, LiangTyan Fui Thanks to both Kevin and Mark for helping me to get started in this area! Thanks for any help.

-- on Windows98 I've had success with the following:
on mouseUp
put empty into fld "ipconfigfld"
set hideConsoleWindows to true
put shell("ipconfig") into vtemp
filter vtemp with "*IP*"
put last word of vtemp into fld "ipconfigfld"
end mouseUp

I did, but for a different reason. But I hadn't bothered to remove the APPL restriction. Regarding not adding a resource fork, I didn't think it would, but without testing it, I wouldn't say it.

Is there a simple way for MC to initiate and identify these numbers for use in chat stacks etc.? If you are going one-on-one, then you can just have the stack show your id, and use a different method (email, etc) to communicate that to the target. If you are looking for a more universal/large scale/robust/automatic system, then I would think you'd need to set up a server at a fixed address (in other words, not at your location) and set up the chat clients to automatically log in to the server, and find each other through that.

Re: getting socket identification numbers
I'm working on a chat program, bolstered by the help of others on the list. I want to get the IP address of the person chatting with me, even if they don't know how to get it themselves. I investigated hostAddress and peerAddress but ran into a puzzle -- can anyone explain it? I'm chatting on my Win98 machine between two stacks with different addresses, 208.193.15.192 given to me by the ISP, and 127.0.0.1, the loopback address. In each stack I have a button with this script: on mouseUp put fld "sendIPfld" into vIP put fld "sendSocketFld" into vSocket put vIP":"vSocket into tDest open socket tDest put hostAddress(tDest)returnpeerAddress(tDest) into fld resultFld close socket tDest end mouseUp From each stack I get the same result -- the hostAddress and the peerAddress are the same, and that address is for the stack that I am connecting to, not the address for the stack with the button. Shouldn't they be different? I'm using two different port numbers -- one to go from the 208.193.15.192 address to the 127.0.0.1 address, and one to go back the other way. But I don't see how that could make any difference. Any help would be much appreciated. Michael Kann, [EMAIL PROTECTED] __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
