I don't know who wrote those examles, but I've never seen it done that way before. Take a look at the examples from the python socket module docs: http://docs.python.org/lib/socket-example.html > 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 Just skip the bind() call. It's useless. #transmission socket s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) s.connect(('192.168.2.13',port)) s.send(data) -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
