Thx for the reply. I check out the website. It is really good, but it is still not working.


I have used this code:

from socket import *
>>> s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
>>> s.bind(('127.0.0.1', 8080))
>>> s.listen(1)


to listen to anyone wanting to connect to me.

I get this error:

in bind error(2.'No such file or directory').

Please help me out!

Thank you a lot!!

I wrote the code in the interactive console exactly as you provided it and didn't get any errors. Strage.

hi darkload18
here is the same case as of bogdan i also tried the same code in my interactive console and didnt get any error.

Try using another IP address, it does not work. But when it executes the listen command, it should not connect to the access point?? It does nothing!

hi darkload
that means ur code is working upto listen(). there can be a GPRS connection problem.
plz give feedback

You cannot listen to incoming Internet connections. IP address 127.0.0.1 (localhost) will allow only in-phone interprocess connections.

GPRS connections do not have public IP addresses. Please refer to the tunnel message posted here recently.

You can use WLAN access point and WLAN internal IP for listening to connections from external devices.
