I am currently trying to work with python networking and I have reached a bit of a road block. I am not able to network with any computer but localhost, which is kind-of useless with what networking is concerned. I have tried on my local network, from one computer to another, and I have tried over the internet, both fail. The only time I can make it work is if (when running on the server's computer) it's ip is set as 'localhost' or '192.168.2.129' (computers ip).
I have spent hours going over opening ports with my isp and have gotten nowhere, so I decided to try this forum. I have my windows firewall down and I have included some pictures of important screen shots. I have no idea what the problem is and this has spanned almost a year of calls to my isp. The computer, modem, and router have all been replaced in that time.
Screen shots:
import socket
import threading
import socketserver
class ThreadedTCPRequestHandler(socketserver.BaseRequestHandler):
def handle(self):
data = self.request.recv(1024)
cur_thread = threading.current_thread()
response = "{}: {}".format(cur_thread.name, data)
self.request.sendall(b'worked')
class ThreadedTCPServer(socketserver.ThreadingMixIn, socketserver.TCPServer):
pass
def client(ip, port, message):
sock = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
sock.connect((ip, port))
try:
sock.sendall(message)
response = sock.recv(1024)
print("Received: {}".format(response))
finally:
sock.close()
if __name__ == "__main__":
# Port 0 means to select an arbitrary unused port
HOST, PORT = "192.168.2.129", 9000
server = ThreadedTCPServer((HOST, PORT), ThreadedTCPRequestHandler)
ip, port = server.server_address
# Start a thread with the server -- that thread will then start one
# more thread for each request
server_thread = threading.Thread(target=server.serve_forever)
# Exit the server thread when the main thread terminates
server_thread.daemon = True
server_thread.start()
print("Server loop running in thread:", server_thread.name)
ip = '12.34.56.789'
print(ip, port)
client(ip, port, b'Hello World 1')
client(ip, port, b'Hello World 2')
client(ip, port, b'Hello World 3')
server.shutdown()
I do not know where the error is occurring. I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:\Users\Dr.Frev\Desktop\serverTest.py", line 43, in <module>
client(ip, port, b'Hello World 1')
File "C:\Users\Dr.Frev\Desktop\serverTest.py", line 18, in client
sock.connect((ip, port))
socket.error: [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine
actively refused it
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
*if this isn't a proper forum for this, could someone direct me to a more appropriate one.
