I am using examples from the web and they all bind to a port at the localhost before connecting to the remote host.
my code is like this #transmission socket s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) s.bind(("",hp_port)) # do some error checking data="HI" print data s.connect(('192.168.2.13',port)) s.send(data) print "\n" which is working fine for me after putting the s.setsockopt(socket.SOL_SOCKET, socket.SO_REUSEADDR, 1) statement any suggestions for alternative implementation? moe smadi -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
