TCPConnect with my ip address..

[ludocus]

@IPAddress1 return 10.0.0.4 at my house..

And _GetIP() returns my ip adress.. (my real one..)

so I want to TCPConnect with _GetIP() but for some reason that just doesn't work...

GRRR!!!

so I can never have a server running on my computer..

is there something to do about it?

because I am making a chat thingie.. but if I can't run the server on my computer then.. No one can use it.. muttley

Please I really need help!

You have to forward the PORT to your 10.0.0.4

ok I did this..

so you say I can now do:

(btw the server):

#include <INet.au3>
TCPStartup()
$errro = TCPConnect(@IPAddress1, 88)
msgbox(32, 'error', $errro)
Exit

but this returns -1

and if I do @IPAddress1 it returns some big number.. (1570 or something)

[LarryDalooza]

TCPListen on @IPAddress1 ... forward port or router to @IPAddress1 .... TCPConnect to router address (most likely myIP)

Could you give an example of that? (in code)

There's no code for that. Fowarding ports on the router is something autoit has nothing to do with. http://www.portforward.com/
