    i created a client/server application using winsock, and everything works fine except if i try to send a message to all the clients from the server, only the last client actually recieves the message. after much research i found the service pack 4 for VB resolves this issue...but it only resolved the issue if i use my computer (that has VB) as the server.... i need to use a computer that does not have VB to be the server. Can anyone help me!!!!!

    How are you broadcasting? Are you using TCP/IP or UDP? I have sent broadcast messages using UDP just by using the broadcast address 255.255.255.255 so that the packet goes everywhere. I had problems prior to using this when the PC's were in different domains. I dont know if this helps!

    If you're using SocketWrench, there's an HTTP client and server example that's included that could probably serve as a foundation for what you're interested in doing. If you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them for you.

    I ran into this problem a long time ago, what you need to do is throw in a DoEvents call in the place where your server is handling the incomming and outgoing traffic.  I haven't made anything like that for awhile, but I'm pretty sure you do it in your loops, like:


    example:


    for each.. blah blah
    Winsock1.SendData blah
    DoEvents
    end for

    there would b two applications one will be at server the other will be at client side
    i m sending this code asuming that u have some prior knowledge about network programming
    include this code at server side



    Private Sub listen_Click()


    Winsock1.LocalPort = 1002
    Winsock1.listen


    End Sub



    Private Sub cmdsend_Click()
    Winsock1.SendData chattxtbox.Text
    txtwindow.Text = txtwindow.Text & vbNewLine & chattxtbox.Text
    chattxtbox.Text = ""



    txtwindow.SelStart = Len(txtwindow)



    End Sub


    Private Sub Winsock1_ConnectionRequest(ByVal requestID As Long)
    Winsock1.Close
    Winsock1.Accept requestID


    End Sub


    Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Dim txtwindowdata As String
    Winsock1.GetData txtwindowdata


    txtwindow.Text = txtwindow.Text & vbNewLine & txtwindowdata
    txtwindow.SelStart = Len(txtwindow)




    End Sub


    //include this one at client siderivate Sub cmdconnect_Click()


    Winsock1.RemoteHost = "127.0.0.1"
    Winsock1.RemotePort = 1002
    Winsock1.Connect



    End Sub





    Private Sub cmdsend_Click()
    Winsock1.SendData chattxtbox.Text
    rectxtwindow.Text = rectxtwindow.Text & vbNewLine & rectxtwindow.Text
    chattxtbox.Text = ""



    End Sub



    Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Dim txtfromserver As String
    Winsock1.GetData txtfromserver
    rectxtwindow.Text = rectxtwindow.Text & vbNewLine & txtfromserver
    rectxtwindow.SelStart = Len(rectxtwindow)




    End Sub


    Private Sub Winsock1_Connect()
    MsgBox "Connecting to Server....Plz stay  far n WAIT"
    End Sub



    this will make a client server chat applicatin with in a LAN

    hi

    This is possible using threads in the client program. the client can generate parallel connections using threads. so u can create multiple clients in the same system.


    In the server side, you use two sockets. One for receive the data and another for response to corresponding clients. Use the FDSET, FDISSET functions to achieve this apps. This is reliable one
    Hope I may answered your question.
