tcp getting info from server

[testingtest]

hello i need some help please

i want to get info from the server for example the computer name and then send the computer name over to the client

i know i would have to use TCPRecv and and TCPSend but how do i tell it what info i want from the socket

i bet it's not even hard to do but for me to have to think of the process is hurting my head i tell it what socket i am connected to and tell it how much data i want send and recv but no option to pick the data you want back

You want something like this?

Server:

;Server Script. RUN FIRST
TCPStartUp()
$MainSocket = TCPListen(TCPNameToIP(@computername), 65432,  100 )
If $MainSocket = -1 Then Exit
While 1
    $ConnectedSocket = TCPAccept( $MainSocket)
    If $ConnectedSocket >= 0 Then
        msgbox(0,"","connected",1)
        ExitLoop
    EndIf
Wend
While 1
    $Message=TCPRecv($ConnectedSocket,2048)
    Sleep(25)
    If $Message<>"" Then
        Switch $Message
            Case "IPAddress"
                $Info=@IPAddress1
            Case "ComputerName"
                $Info=@ComputerName
            Case "UserName"
                $Info=@UserName
            Case "LogonDomain"
                $Info=@LogonDomain              
            Case Else
                $Info="Unknown command"
        EndSwitch
        TCPSend($ConnectedSocket,$Info)
    EndIf
WEnd

Run the server at the remote computer, then run the client at yours. Enter the info you want to get from the server (IPAddress,ComputerName,UserName,etc...)

Should work.

you sure you have port 65432 open?

Edit: and forwarded to your server computer. (inncase you are running this script over internet)

Sorry, I deleted it because I got it working with IP 192.168.0.11... but now I'm trying it with a friend, and I can't get it working again. How do I know if the port is open? And do the computers need to be on the same network? Or could I be running this script with someone halfway across the globe?
