hello,
I have a problem, to which, I hope some one can shed some light. I have
written a client server program that runs on two suns, communicating via
sockets over some ethernet. All works fine, couldn't be better. I have
since ported the all the software to FreeBSD on a PC.
This is my problem. If the client, server are both run on the same PC
all is fine. When the two have to communicate over the ethernet, the client
gets forcefully rejected but if I telnet from the same xterm process to the
same host socket the connection is a least made.
Can someone tell me I have over looked? I have assumed that the code
works as when local to each other it does. I surmise it is something to do
with the system security, but I'm damned if I can find it.
Thanks in advance.
