QTCPSocket not connecting

**DPinLV** · 24th August 2006, 18:10

I am running the Fortune Server and Fortune Client examples. Unfortunately, both programs start up fine, but they do not make a TCP socket connection. The server says it is listening, and 'netstat' confirms this. After the client calls 'connectToHost', the socket is supposedly open. Here is the code that I use to confirm that:

Qt Code:

Switch view

getFortuneButton->setEnabled(false);
  blockSize = 0;
  tcpSocket->abort();
  tcpSocket->connectToHost(hostLineEdit->text(),
                           portLineEdit->text().toInt());
 
  if (tcpSocket->isOpen ())
     statusLabel->setText ("It is open.");
  else
     statusLabel->setText ("It is NOT open.");

getFortuneButton->setEnabled(false);
  blockSize = 0;
  tcpSocket->abort();
  tcpSocket->connectToHost(hostLineEdit->text(),
                           portLineEdit->text().toInt());

  if (tcpSocket->isOpen ())
     statusLabel->setText ("It is open.");
  else
     statusLabel->setText ("It is NOT open.");

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode

I even tried to connect the client to another (non-QT) server application I have and the QT client does not make the connection.

Does anyone know of any problems with the Fortune Server, Fortune Client examples?

Thanks,
