Hi, I am working on a simple TCP client-server application using NetLib at Palm OS 4.x client side and Winsock at Windows ME desktop/notebook server side. All the previous discussions on my posts were useful, thanks. The application runs great via local network. In this case the client runs on POSE with NetLib calls redirected to host TCP/IP. My simple VB server implementation with only two Winsocks runs great too. The system seemed to be working at that stage. Now is the time to start using wireless link, and I ran across a problem - the client is not connecting to the server anymore. I have to use the Win98/ME Dial-Up Server to connect, and this could be the problem itself. Everyting is OK with the cell phone modems on both sides. The modem driver at PC side is OK too. The client's modem is dialing and sending all the PPP requests and data, the server's modem is responding properly, the Dial-Up Server starts answering but finally hangs up (with implicit status message), and the client on Palm reports 'authentification failure'. A password is specified properly, but there is no mean to specify the same user at the Dial-Up Server, which is specified at the client side. What am I supposed to do?
My Winsock server application is just listening and waiting for a connection request. Is it OK? The TCP/IP protocol bound to the Dial-Up Adapter is set as default. Should I set a Dial-Up Networking connection up? I guess it is not necessary. Please have a look at the settings following. Dial-Up Server at desktop: - Caller Access allowed and password set - PPP as Server Type - Advanced Options disabled Network Preferences at Palm: - fake service name - user name (no matching user name at Dial-Up Server) - password (matching to Dial-Up Server's PW) - IR to Phone connection Network Preferences Details at Palm: - PPP connection type - 1 min Idle timeout - Query DNS unchecked - empty Primary DNS - empty Secondary DNS - a static IP Address (Automatic unchecked) -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
