TCPServer not working

ruby-talk
1

Hi,
I have tried to do a very simple client/server setup, like so:

port = 57624
server = TCPServer.new(“0.0.0.0”, port)
while (connection = server.accept)
# do stuff
end

Access from localhost works great, but "telnet the.ipa.ddr.ess 57624"
always gives me “Unable to connect to remote host: Connection
refused”. I am running the server part on Ruby 1.6.8, Win32
environment. And no, there’s no firewall blocking it. Any ideas?

What time version are you using?

I had no trouble with 1.6.8 (2003-03-26) of mswin32 and
mingw32, on NT 5.0.

I apologize, it was indeed a firewall problem, albeit a non-obvious
one. Thanks for your answers :slight_smile:
