I am new to python coding and tried to create a simple python socket server. I coded a client.py and a server.py on my laptop and it seems to work (It does what it is supposed to do....), but if i try to run the server on my laptop and the client on my other computer, it sometimes times out.
client.py
import socket
s = socket.socket()
host = '192.168.178.87'
port = 12345
s.connect((host, port))
print s.recv(1024)
s.sendall("greetings")
server.py
import socket
s = socket.socket()
host = ''
port = 12345
s.bind((host, port))
s.listen(5)
i = 0
while i < 5:
c, addr = s.accept()
print 'Got connection from', addr
c.send('Thank you for connecting')
data = c.recv(1024)
print data
c.close()
i += 1
print i
s.close()
I am using a FritzBox 7390, Both computers are in the same local network, both firewalls are turned off and no antivirus is installed.
I am using windows 7 and python 2.7 on both computers.
My problem summed up:
If I run the server on my laptop(192.168.178.87) and open the client.py via
cmd on the same computer , it works (I tried to use 127.0.0.1, 192.168.178.87 and my official ipv4 address(portforwarding in the router)) and everything works.
But if I try to use the client.py on my other computer (192.168.178.131) it
only works if I am the fifth to try to connect and I have no idea why.
I can connect to the server via browser, and it sometimes works, but mostly
there is an timeout error (Errno 10060).
What is the problem with my code?
