Hi, I am following a few tutorial and this howto:
************************************************************* ........... What happens in the web server is a bit more complex. First, the web server creates a "server socket". #create an INET, STREAMing socket serversocket = socket.socket( socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) #bind the socket to a public host, # and a well-known port serversocket.bind((socket.gethostname(), 80)) #become a server socket serversocket.listen(5) A couple things to notice: we used socket.gethostname() so that the socket would be visible to the outside world. If we had used s.bind(('', 80)) or s.bind(('localhost', 80)) or s.bind(('127.0.0.1', 80)) we would still have a "server" socket, but one that was only visible within the same machine. ........... ************************************************************* My problem is that I cannot connect to my server if the client is not on the same PC (although I'm doing the above). Also: 1) my server has more than one IP addresses 2) my server does not have any DNS name ... so I want to connect to an IP address that I can ping but has no name. How can I do that ?
