Hi,
I have written a brief program that sets up a server. It is working
fine on my XP machines but I can't get it to work on Vista.
Actually, it "works: in that it runs but when I try to connect via
telnet I get nothing. I have tried opening up the port and also
turned off the firewall. Neither seems to work and it won't accept
conections. I have tried running it from both an administrative and a
standeard account. Does anyone know of anything else I should do?

Thanks,,
Bob

What happens if you try to telnet from the same PC it is installed on?
(ex: telnet to 127.0.0.1)

I get "connectng to 127.0.0.1 .... Could not open connection to the
host, on port xxxxx: Connect failed"

I think I figured out the problem. I think it is because the server
was listening on an ipv6 port number and I expected to be able to
connect with the old style IPv4 version. The reference to 127.0.0.1
got me on the right track.

Thanks!
