I've gotten as far as getting through without any serious errors, with some (rather elusive) information I've found by searching around. What's puzzling me now, though, is something I hadn't noticed before about NetLibSocketListen... is the socket only listening while the network library is waiting in that function? If so, is there any way to put a socket in listen mode and check for connections like you normally can in the BSD socket API? It's looking like that because, even though I can get a socket into listen mode, I get a "connection refused" when trying to connect to it from another machine. That, plus the fact that what I read says that when NetLibSocketListen returns success, there is a connection request waiting. What I can't do is sit around forever in that function for a connection... it only slows everything else down. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Smith // avalon73 at arthurian dot nu // http://www.arthurian.nu/ Software Developer // Gamer // Webmaster // System Administrator A Freudian slip is when you say one thing but mean your mother. -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/tech/support/forums/
