Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi experts
This is my first experience with Sockets Programming.
I am purely using MFC on both sides -- Server(Dialog based application with 3 buttons <Start server, Send data & shutdown server>).
The client application is an Windows explorer type MFC SDI application.

After the connection is established & when the <Send data> button is clicked on the server side, names of all the folders in C:\ is send one by one to the client for display in the tree view.

Now i have 2 questions to ask:

Q1--> How can i make sure that the Port No. that i will provide in the Create() will be to create socket on each & every system? 

Q2--> Now suppose the data ie folder names are being send from server to client & in the mean time i purposely pulls out the network cable. Now under such circumstances how wud the client know that the connection with the server is disrupted & no more data transfer cud take place?

waiting for suggestions

Regards
