Sockets

[Eric Corbett]

Thanks Bob, but it doesn’t quite help. I can use sockets, just not sure how to talk back and forth without having both devices acting like a server.

Thanks Dr. Hawkins, I’ll look that up. Does your code have both computers doing an “accept connection on port …”? And is the port different on each computer or the same? Maybe I’ll have my answer from a code audit.

I’ll have to look back at the rev chat example again also, but I don’t remember this being helpful.
