Connecting PC to Ds

[Mighty Max]

Heya, i must be doing something wrong, and i can't seem to find my error. I hope someone might help me here

 

Set up: I am using Devkit R18 still. DsWifi Libs are build from CVS i last updated at 18:00 today. The NDS got the ip 10.0.0.17, the gateway 10.0.0.2 and the SNM 255.0.0.0

 

The WiFi lib works great when i connect to a remote (pushing some data to a PHP script) but the incoming connection from my PC via telnet does not work, it times out & no accept() call succeeds.

 

The code to check for a connection is periodical called (500ms) and only returns error 11 (try again later)

 

The code:

	if (listensock==0) {
 listensock = socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0);
 sockaddr_in sa;
 sa.sin_family      = AF_INET;
 sa.sin_addr.s_addr =  0; // any
 sa.sin_port        = htons     (8668);         
 sa.sin_zero[0] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[1] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[2] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[3] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[4] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[5] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[6] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[7] = 0;
 int  blockmode = 1;
 ioctl(listensock,FIONBIO,&blockmode);
 if (bind(listensock,(sockaddr *)&sa,sizeof(sa))) {
	 createLayer[2]->GetElementByName("clientlist")->AddTextToList("bind failed",0);
 };
 listen(listensock,1);
};
if (listensock) {
 sockaddr_in sa;
 sa.sin_family      = 0;
 sa.sin_addr.s_addr =  0;
 sa.sin_port        = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[0] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[1] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[2] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[3] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[4] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[5] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[6] = 0;
 sa.sin_zero[7] = 0;  
 int dummy = sizeof(sa);
 errno = 0;
 int clientSock = accept(listensock,(sockaddr *)&sa,&dummy);
 if ((accept>0) && (errno==0)){
	 createLayer[2]->GetElementByName("clientlist")->AddTextToList("[Slot Taken]",0);
	 
 } else {
	 // allways returns 11, not accepting any incoming connection       
	 char errtext[6];
	 sprintf(errtext,"%d",errno);
	 createLayer[0]->GetElementByName("maplist")->AddTextToList(errtext,0);
 };
};

 

The telnet output (german)

C:\WINDOWS\system32>telnet 10.0.0.17 8668
Verbindungsaufbau zu 10.0.0.17...Es konnte keine Verbindung mit dem Host hergest
ellt werden, auf Port 8668: Verbinden fehlgeschlagen

Which just means: Could not create connection to host on port 8668

 

Anyone got any suggestions? Or sees my error?

Ok, firstly;

since you've set the socket to nonblocking mode, all ordinarily blocking calls (including accept()) will return immediately, so you must wait in a loop if you want to use them; I'm assuming you are deallocating the socket right after it "fails to accept()", so of course the pc won't connect to it

 

See the following:

int newsock=0;
if(listensock) {
 while(1) {
   newsock = accept(listensock,(sockaddr *)&sa,&dummy);
   if(newsock>0) break;
   if(errno!=EWOULDBLOCK) { // handle a more "fatal" error
   }
 }
 // shiny new socket in newsock, ready to be used.
}

 

Bug me if you need more infos.

The socket is kept open between the accept tries. Only on leaving the menu the socket is shut down.

 

The routine displays the "11" as errno in the corresponding menu elements each run through. I have just checked that this socket isn't reinitialized. It's only created once.

 

I need the accept be non-blocking tho, as i allow the server to edit the gamesettings while waiting for the connections. Ok select() would be the next choice here and i'll try if that solves my problems.

 

:edit: After setting listensock to blocking mode and using select() before using accept() gets me nowhere either. select() does not signal an incoming connection.

 

If i just call accept() in blocking mode, it just never returns.

first of all 11==EWOULDBLOCK - of course it's going to be 11.

Secondly, see the code loop I posted - though I didn't explicitly make mention of it, it is quite possible to do other things than check the accept() in the while(1) or in a similar construct - hope this gives you an idea of how to do it.

don't use select() for this, of course.... though accept() in blocking mode should eventually return if you connect to the socket. Certainly use the non-blocking mode, but try to use it similar to a way I demonstrated.

I know i can do other things in this loop too, but not return to the calling function which i need to. It is a timer based in the gui. staying in there means the gui stopping to respond to other events.

 

And i do so. The calls are allready embedded in a big loop, that handles drawing of the gui & sending events to the seperate handler. One of them is the timer which does the above.

 

Problem is it just never notice any incoming connection. It's not that i see a EWOULDBLOCK and stop asking, but there never returns anything else on continously accept() calls.

The arm7 code is the same as in wifi_example1.

 

No positive result either. A telnet to 10.0.0.10 port 8668 here (IP: 0x0A00000A) cant connect. The PC has ip 10.0.0.16, and is associated in to the same AP.
