[Tutor] Socket connection refused

[Djoumy .]

 Hi,
I've managed to solve my socket problem !!
That wasn't directly connected to Python programming. 2 weeks ago I've got my network card roasted, so I 
bought a new one and installed it with the same connexion params. Everything worked without any problem 
(internet, ftp, icq...) until I discovered I wasn't reachable by ping commands or anything using socket 
connexions.
In fact, WinXP (without telling it to me...) thought the old card was still here, so it had kept its MAC address. 
Then no socket connexion could be opened because there was a MAC id mismatch... It took me near 1 week to 
find the problem but now everything's OK.
Thank you all for having proposed your help, maybe I should install Linux on my computer to avoid stupid bugs 
like this...

Djoum's

Hi Djoumy,

I'm not new to networking but new to Python. Could you please send me your
code. I've since deleted your orginal email with the attatched code. I have
Linux, Win2k and WinXP here at home that I can test with. All running Python
2.3.3. I'm pretty new to python but am willing to test your code to see if I
run into any of the same problems that your having. Just zip up the code and
send it to my email address and let me know what directions are needed to
execute the test. I believe there's a server.py and client.py app that your
testing with. I can even packet sniff and capture the client server
interaction to help further diagnose what the possible connection problem
could be if there is one for me. If I don't run into any problems I will
have a packet sniff/capture of what a good client-sever connection should
look like that you can look at.

Have you ever used Ethereal before? If not, I can show you how if you would
like. Having a packet sniffing tool can be very helpful in isolating where a
network problem lives..  Once you can isolate where the problem is then you
can spend more energy in the correct area.Thats if your test comprises of
two physical machines trying to communicate with eachother. If the client
and server app are both installed on the same machine then I wont be to big
of a help. All I could do is just test too see if I get the same results.

Do you have an Instant Messenger client installed that you can use to chat
with? This will help speed the trouble shooting process up. I have Yahoo
Instant Messenger installed on my end.

Let me know how you would like to proceed Djoumy?

Sorry.. Not familar with your mail client. So I can't help shed any light in
that area.
