Q:Socket class bind for listen question

[HABJAN ®iga]

Hello,

how can i bind a socket for listen on some port, and all addresses :

In the sample i bind myself to localhost(127.0.0.1) on port 5500. It works
fine when connecting to localhost, but if i connect from another computer,
or i connect by computer name, the accept callback never happens.


Private sckL As Socket
_{Dim lipa As IPHostEntry = Dns.Resolve("localhost")
Dim lep As New IPEndPoint(lipa.AddressList(0), 5500)
Me.sckL = New Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream,
ProtocolType.IP)
Me.sckL.Bind(lep)
Me.sckL.Listen(10)
... begin accept ....}


I want to setup my socket like VB6 WinSock.ocx, with no address bind... just
port listen...

best regards,
habix

Change this to Dns.Resolve(Dns.GetHostName())
