No reception of NewConnection signal

[tony]

Well, I've tried your code in my PC ... and it works :)

Just a strange thing, but it's not dependent on your code. Qt Creator does not show printf messages in "Application Output". But if you launch your program in a console, you'll see the message (I put a printf in NewConnection slot).

[tony]

Btw ... use qDebug() function to show message in Application Output ...

[cyte13]

all my printf worked fine but NewConnection...
As an example, at the start of listenning : printf("Local Game Engine Server listenning on port %d...\n", port); => works fine in the console....

[tony]

Well, your server starts fine (as netstat shows...)

I just make a "telnet 127.0.0.1 8500" and a NEW CONNECTION!!! (my message) appears.

Firewall? Do you connect to 127.0.0.1 and port 8500? I cannot see any other problem ...

[cyte13]

I desactived the firewall but nothing changed.
What is strang is that the client correctly onnects to the server and intercepts the connected() signal.
Moreover, I need to put the WaitForNewConnection() to be able to intercept newConnection() signal....

[cyte13]

telnet succeced in connecting to the server but still nothing in new connection!!!!

[tony]

well, the only thing left is that I can post my code and you'll check for any diff ...

I hope that this will help you solve your problem ...

[cyte13]

not better.....
The only difference between your code and mine is that the CGameEngine and CGameEngineServer are available via a library (ifdef GAMENETWORK_LIB

define GAMENETWORK_EXPORT Q_DECL_EXPORT

#else

define GAMENETWORK_EXPORT Q_DECL_IMPORT

#endif)

==> May cause the issue?

[tony]

I don't think so ... well, you can try :)

[cyte13]

I progress...
When removing all classes access by library and directly insert .h and .cpp files into my app folder, it workd fine!!!!

Thanks a lot.

But... I would like to understand why it does not work when using StartProcess from the CGameEngine got from a library...!!!!
