Transfering to another port.

#1 you set up to listen on the port of your choice, and when you accept it sets the local port to the next available. so the client might be on port 8888, but on the server it's actually locked into port 8889+.

i'm sure there are tons of samples, anything doing TCP serving, of this on winsock. Even the MSDN website should have a bunch.

#2 How would i add 1 to the port number just for that one client, then 2 for the next one, woould i need to create more sockets? Also I need to keep track of which port i have set for each player, tho that probably won't be to hard as long as I figure out the first quesiton...

sorry for the bump but i really need this answered.

#3 You set a socket to listen at a specified port, once you have a connecting socket, you call accept.

Accept returns a socket, use this socket to communicate with the client while your listener socket sits there and continues listening.

I usually set a maximum number of connections and create an array of sockets with a variable to hold the number of connections... something like this:

#define MAXCONNECTIONS 10

int numConnections = 0;
SOCKET socClients[MAXCONNECTIONS];

Then when you call accept() you can do this:

socClients[numConnections++] = accept(...);
if (socClients[numConnections - 1] == SOCKET_ERROR)
     numConnections--;

Hope that helps... if not, I'd suggest checking out www.sockets.com, good sample apps there. If you're still stuck, send an email and I'll try to help some more.

#4 oh yeah... I learned that a long time ago (i havent' done network programming in over a year hehe). Thanks a lot man. If i have anymore questions i'll email ya =) thanks again!
