Running Client/Server on the same machine

See more:

C++

Hi,

I'm trying to run a client/server on the same machine, with two (.CPP) files, one for the server and the other for the client.But what happens is that the server works up until the listen command, and the client code cannot be reached. Eventhough, i'm sure that the code is correct.
The SERVER code is:

#include <winsock2.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    cout <<"Server: Part 2a\n";
    cout <<"CelestialKey's Tutorial\n\n";

    int error;
    WSAData wsaData;

    error = WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2, 2), &wsaData);

    if (error == SOCKET_ERROR)
    {
        cout << "Server: Winsock Failed to begin!\n";
        return 1;
    }

    cout << "Server: WinSocket Started Correctly!\n";
    int mySocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

    if (mySocket == SOCKET_ERROR)
    {
        cout << "Server: Socket Failed to initialize!\n";
    }

    cout << "Server: Socket Opened Properly!\n";

    struct sockaddr_in server; // New! Our network socket structure

    server.sin_family = AF_INET; // Always have ti as this for internet
    server.sin_port = htons(7654); // Dont forget the byte ordering
    server.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY; // Lets us accept a conenction on ANY internet

    error = bind(mySocket, (sockaddr*)&server, sizeof(server)); // Attempt to bind the socket

    if (error == SOCKET_ERROR)
    {
        cout << "Server: Ah ****... Somethings wrong with binding\n";
    }


    error = listen(mySocket, 5); // Listen for connections

    if (error == SOCKET_ERROR)
    {
        cout << "Server: Too deaf to listen...\n"; // Did we error?!?!
    }

    cout << "Server: Waiting for a client to connect ...\n"; // Just to keep us up to date - ish

    int clientSocket; // Used for the client

    clientSocket = accept(mySocket, 0, 0); // Accepts the client

    if (clientSocket == SOCKET_ERROR)
    {
        cout << "I DUN WANNA!\n"; // did we Fu** up again?
    }

    cout << "Server: Client Connected!\n";

    closesocket(mySocket);

    cout << "Server: Socket Closed\n";

    WSACleanup();

    cout << "Server: WinSocket Shutdown\n";

    cout << "Server: Press any key to shutdown server ...";
    getchar();
    
    return 0;
}

The Client code is:

#include <winsock2.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;


int main()
{
    cout << "Client: Part 2b!\n";
    cout << "Client: CelestialKey's Tutorial\n\n";

    int error;
    WSAData wsaData;

    error = WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2, 2), &wsaData);

    if (error == SOCKET_ERROR)
    {
        cout << "Client: WinSock Hates me!!!\n";
        return 1;
    }

    cout << "Client: WinSocket Loaded.\n";

    int mySocket = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);

    if (mySocket == SOCKET_ERROR)
    {
        cout << "Client: Socket Door is stuck.. Wont open.. -.-;\n";
    }

    cout << "Client: Socket Opened Successfully!\n";


    char server_name[40] = "localhost"; // The server name we will connect to

    // If you are on a network and you want to run the client on another computer, you can get the IP from
    // running "ipconfig" from the command line, and enter that IP address instead of the word "localhost".

    struct hostent *host_entry; // Translates into something the computer can understand

    // The hostent struct contains the ip and anme of the host (Among other things). We can fill it by calling the gethostbyname();

    host_entry = gethostbyname(server_name); // Gather out information

    if (host_entry == NULL)
    {
        cout << "Client: Ah ****, im lost, wheres the host at?\n";
    }

    
    struct sockaddr_in server;

    server.sin_family = AF_INET;
    server.sin_port = htons((unsigned short) 7654);
    server.sin_addr.s_addr = *(unsigned long*) host_entry->h_addr;


    error = connect(mySocket, (sockaddr*)&server, sizeof(server)); // Lets attempt to connect now

    if (error == SOCKET_ERROR)
    {
        cout << "Client: Damn server wont let me connect!\n";
    }

    

    cout << "Client: We are connected!!!\n";
    closesocket(mySocket);

    cout << "Client: Closing Socket.\n";
    WSACleanup();

    cout << "Client: Winsock has been shut down.\n";

    cout << "Press any key to close down Client ...\n";
    getchar();
    
    return 0;
}

I think it's the way i'm attaching the files, or creating the project!!
I'm using C++ Builder 6, using the console wizard. can somebody please tell me what are the EXACT STEPS for making this program work??

Best regards.
