Hi,
I created a win32 service for XPPro called N4010ATestService.py (see below).
The service runs as a particular user with administrative rights. It starts a
thread that creates a simple socket server (N4010ASocketServer.py -- also
below) that just waits for 20 character string. When I run the socket server
by itself the test client can connect to the server and send a 20 character
string just fine. When I run the service, the server will bind to the port
but the client cannot connect. I verified the server was listening on the
given port using netstat -an. The client eventually times out. Why isn't the
server accepting connections when run in a service?
Thanks,
Tom
