Hi.

I downloaded your UDP client and everything worked fine except for one small thing... I couldn't BIND a port.

I'm making a ASP script that communicates with a server that sends data back on a specific port and there for I need to bind that port.

But, that doesn't seem to be possible with your UDP client.

What i'd like to be able to do is something like:

<%
Dim port
Dim ip
dim obj
dim c

ip = "111.111.111.111"
port = "1122"

set obj = server.CreateObject("Intrafoundation.UDPClient")

c = obj.Open( ip , port)
c = obj.bind = "1111"
%>

If you could add this to your COM object I'd be SO happy.

Ohh.. my code got cutoff.

What I'd like to do be able to do is something like:

dim ip
dim port
dim obj
dim c

ip = "the_ip"
port = "the_port"

set obj = server.CreateObject("Intrafoundation.UDPClient")

c = obj.Open( ip , port)
c = obj.bind = "1111"

Well... the COM is designed to be a "client". I think what you're wanting to do essentially is to set it up as a "server". That is you're wanting it to persist after the asp page and continue collecting data and respondng to it?

The way it's setup now you can only send/recv so long as the asp script is running. You can set up a loop and bump up the timeouts, etc but when you get to the obj.close at the end of the page to connection is terminated.

Have I missed your point?

btw, I might point out that when you do an "Open" it actually DOES do a berkley class bind to that ip:port. Snipped from the udp class itself:

int nbind = bind(sock, (struct sockaddr*)&locala;, sizeof(locala));

So maybe something else is going on? Firewalls maybe? Do any of the examples work?
