TCP listen and TCP accept for any IP ?

[Alexxander]

hi all

i am making a script that u run a script on a PC and then send a shutdown command from another PC from another script through the internet

i'am using TCP functions

the problem is that i only know the IP address of the PC that will receive the command 

and when i want to use the TCP listen i and TCP accept i have to specify the ip to listen for (wich i don't have)

 

can i make the receiver PC listen to all IPs at a specified port ?

tnx in advanced...

You need to run that by me again but this time slowly as the above doesn't make much sense.

Hi,

For the TCPListen function use the @IPAddress1 macro.

You cannot listen to the global IP as it belongs to your local router.

You also need to create a port forwarding on that device in order to make this working.

Or a third party server in the middle where both PCs can connect to to receive the commands.

You don't understand how it works, the server listens for incomming connections so it uses its local IP.

 

You cannot listen to the global IP as it belongs to your local router.

It depends on how your network is made, but yes it's not a global IP for the individuals.

The problem is that you are not making clear what you want to do so I asked you to explain it better.

Your title says you want to listen on any IP, but you clearly do not understand how this works when being on an LAN behind a LAT router connected to the internet.

So define clearly what you you want to do and you might get some better explanations and help.

Your problem is solved?

If not, try the TCP examples of the beta helpfile.

Replace the server script IP by @IPAddress1 and the client script IP by the global IP of the server.

I think he needs to make all the clients connect to one server or a database with the IP Addresses of the servers.
