I agree. This is my contribution:
1. Javasoft does not include Winsock in its JDK (older versions did).
2. According to Java JRE Readme:
If your application uses the networking classes, it may not run
reliably under Winsock 1.1. If your networking application must support
Windows 95, which includes Winsock 1.1, you will want to include a
Winsock 2.0 install in your installation procedure. (Windows NT 4.0 and
Windows 98 include Winsock 2.0.) To provide Winsock 2.0, you need the
Microsoft Windows Sockets 2.0 Software Development Kit. This free
software can be downloaded from the following addresses:
this one doesn't work:
http://www.microsoft.com/win32dev/netwrk/winsock2/ws295sdk.html)
this is ok:
ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/bussys/WinSock/winsock2
3. So everyone working with the new debugger Platform in M$ Windows must
have Winsock 2.0 installed.
4. According to Microsoft MSDN Library, the Winsock SDK even includes a
trace/debug dll. I know that for example http://www.sstinc.com also has a
Winsock spy (with a nice GUI). Trumpet winsock also has one. So, it will
even be easy to debug JDE-DEBUGGER connection in M$ environment.
5.It's also required that the WINDOWS\HOSTS(.SAM?) in windows 95, or the
systemroot\System32\Drivers\Etc\HOSTS have at least localhost defined, and
maybe also the real IP of the current machine (if it has one), as in
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
192.168.1.1 myname.mynetwork myname
6. Other machine running TCPDUMP can clear out any doubt.
