I stumbled upon this tutorial to learn more about TCP and networking. I successfully tested the code on localhost, but encountered an issue when trying it with my real IP address. My friend attempted to run the client on his system, but we kept getting the error message:
TimeoutError: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respondIt's worth mentioning that I am using Ubuntu while my friend is on Windows.
server.py
import socket
HOST = 'my ip'
PORT = 65432
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
s.bind((HOST, PORT))
s.listen()
conn, addr = s.accept()
with conn:
print('Connected by', addr)
while True:
data = conn.recv(1024)
if not data:
break
conn.sendall(data)
client.py
import socket
HOST = '86.184.147.101'
PORT = 65432
with socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) as s:
s.connect((HOST, PORT))
s.sendall(b'Hello, world')
data = s.recv(1024)
print('Received', repr(data))
I believe there might be a simple solution to this issue, but so far I haven't been able to find any help on platforms like StackOverflow. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!
