I'm needing some ideas on how emulates the connection between client and server for exchanging packets between them.

thanks

[Apprentice123]

Let me see... I need:

Client:
Create a TCP socket
Establish connection
Communicate
Close the connection


Server:
Create a TCP socket
Assign a port to socket
Set socket to listen
Repeatedly:
-Accept new connection
-Communicate
-Close the connection


How can I create a TCP socket ? What do I need to create? How do I set up the client and server classes?

Just asking, are you using C or C++? I've been trying to the the same with C but I lost interest.

Platform?

Windows: madwizard.org, winsock tutorial, C++ Socket class
Linux: linuxhowtos.org

Note that it's basicly the same, only on Windows you have to make like 3 extra functions calls before you start sending data over interwebz.

For Linux socket programming, I would highly recommend Beej's Guide to Network Programming.
