Now a TCP Question

[Jim Ault]

It turns out that the server service has just started a TCP alternative, so
I tried Alex Tweedly's TCP server and client.

These two stacks run successfully on both the same computer and two that I
have on my network, either with DHCP address or each having a static IP
address.

Now the outside world...
 Adjusting firewall and my client settings, I can get

"Success: opened server.i.p.addr:8882"

where the actual IP address is shown, so I assume this is a handshake.

The tech group reports back that (including word wrap, addr chgd) :

We are seeing the following in the sdlear/tcpip log:

WSAECONNABORTED (10053)
€Translation: Software caused connection abort.
€Description: An established connection was stopped by the software in your
host computer, possibly because of a data transmission time-out or protocol
error.

I get this both on 
G5 dual, OSX 10.4.6, Rev 2.6.1
Duo Mini, OSX 10.4.6, Rev 2.6.1 or 2.7.1  build 236

This is getting a little deep for me, since I am not a networking or socket
guy.  It seems that Rev is almost up to the task.  If I can figure this out,
I will put together some example and test stacks so others can learn.  I
could possibly host some stacks for live testing that others could use.

My deadline for getting this solved is about 5 days from now, so hopefully I
can learn all the details I need to make this happen.

Questions:
Since UDP works on the G5/10.4.6, but not DuoMini/10.4.6
[starts to get messages, then crashes Rev w/EXEC_BAD_INSTRUCTION (0x0002)]
on BOTH  2.6.1 and  (2.7.1 build 236 installed today 5.26.06)
Since TCP would be the most desirable method, is there a test server I can
use?



Thanks for any advice in advance.
