hello,
as i see “Network.createServer” dont have method to declare IP for a server. it is running on all IP’s.
I can declare only port as i see…
Is there possibility to run server on declared IP?
The server runs using the ip of the machine where it is created.
If you try to run a networking game in a LAN for example you need to start the server at a determined tcp and udp port and then start a client on another machine creating a net client that connects to the ip of the pc the server is running on. To know the ip simply start a console on the server’s pc ad type:
Windows → “ipconfig /all”
Linux → “ifconfig”
And than start the client application with the specified ip

we know this all,
my question is diffrent:
Is there possibility to run server on declared IP? Server have MANY IP's, and we try to run one IP from pool
edit:
and another question: we dont want to use UDP to connect, becouse we all traffic migrate with TCP proxy only(becouse this is needed by network infrastructure).
so how to use only TCP?
Ok, sorry me.
I thought you were a newbi of spidermonkey.
I don’t know how to declare a server that get a specified ip but for the question about TCP i think that you cloud simply use only reliable messages and ignore the UDP protocol.
I hope I’ve been of some help

impossible:
[java]
public static Server createServer( int port ) throws IOException
{
return createServer( DEFAULT_GAME_NAME, DEFAULT_VERSION, port, port );
}
[/java]
that is why... when you set one port, it create same port for UDP and TCP. i tried to use -1 / etc. nothin help
but maybe there is some method after initialization, so i need author or someone who know, to answer me.
[java]public static Server createServer(int tcpPort,
int udpPort)
throws java.io.IOException[/java]
In the Network class there is this method. This can help you?
im happy you want to help, but you dont help, it is like “do you know where is my dog?” and you answer " that dog is not a cat. maybe this will help you"
edit:
to be more precision, i have 2 questions(still not solved):
- Is there possibility to run server on declared IP? Server have MANY IP’s, and we try to run one IP from pool
- We dont want to use UDP, becouse we all traffic migrate with TCP proxy only(becouse this is needed by network infrastructure). so how to use only TCP?
it is like “do you know where is my dog?” and you answer ” that dog is not a cat. maybe this will help you”
XD
Ok. I don't understand where is the problem. If you don't want to use UDP protocol, why can't you use only TCP messages??
If you don't send UDP messages the UDP connection is not used. So it need only to declare a Message the is always reliable and it will be sent over the TCP protocol
when i use only TCP messages like this:
[java]message.setReliable(true)[/java]
- or in constructor just
[java]setReliable(true)[/java]
it give

on serwer was blocked UDP, when its unblocked, then it work. but finally it need to be blocked in our infrastructure
You do not need to use the UDP connection, you can even close it altogether by specifying port “-1” for it.
To make a server with a specific address without UDP do this:
[java]
InetSocketAddress = new InetSocketAddress(“192.168.1.1”, tcpPort);
SelectorKernel reliable = new SelectorKernel(inetAddress);
Server server = new DefaultServer( gameName, version, reliable, fast );[/java]
But its not necessary really, the server will listen on all addresses anyway.
[java]
InetSocketAddress inetAddress = new InetSocketAddress(IP, tcpPort);
SelectorKernel reliable = new SelectorKernel(inetAddress);
InetSocketAddress inetAddress2 = new InetSocketAddress(IP, -1);
SelectorKernel fast = new SelectorKernel(inetAddress2);
server = new DefaultServer("castway", 1, reliable, fast );
[/java]

at java.net.InetSocketAddress.(Unknown Source)
at cwserver.DatabaseServer.initServer(DatabaseServer.java:211)
at cwserver.DatabaseServer.main(DatabaseServer.java:239)
or like this:
[java]
server = Network.createServer("castway", 1, tcpPort, -1);
[/java]

tests done with blocked UDP on server infrastructure. only TCP allowed
btw we tried to have all messages have "setReliable(true);", but it dont work too.
i think somethin is using UDP here, becouse when UDP is unblocked, it work. but i repeat: we need finally to have blocked UDP on server infrastructure
Just do what I said. Either you use the static Network.createServer() with port -1 or do what I posted. Specifying an InetAddress with port -1 is wrong.
[java] InetSocketAddress inetAddress = new InetSocketAddress(IP, tcpPort);
SelectorKernel reliable = new SelectorKernel(inetAddress);
Server server = new DefaultServer(“castway”, 1, reliable, fast );[/java]
sorry @normen you are best, becouse you solved problem with IP (point one), but there is problem with your code, there is not fast variable.
edit:
[java]server = Network.createServer(“castway”, 1, tcpPort, -1); [/java]
tried before. i posted exception i get from it
null
with null:

:facepalm:
[java]Server server = new DefaultServer("castway", 1, reliable, null );[/java]
Having no UDP port will only fail if you then use it afterwards.

yes i done like this 
dont do facepalm before test 
edit: remember, my tests are done on network architecture with blocked UDP
Well if those lines of code crash for you then you live in one of those parallel universes some of our users seem to live in and I cannot help you. Else what I said counts: It only fails if you then try to send unreliable messages.

btw you helped me with first question about IP, so i thank you very much
and i still looking for only TCP solution for me. maybe this is version problem? should i use nifty or standard libraries?
maybe @pspeed will know
:brainsout: … there is no UDP in the code I posted
