How to Listen Any One Client At A Time Using QTcpServer And QTcpSocket

[Ketan__Patel__0011]

Hello Friends.....

I Want To Connect And Listen Any One Client At A Time And Get Data From The Client

My Client Side Code Is Ready But At Server Side Am Not Able To Connect Any Particular Client

My Server Side Code Is :

               #include "mainwindow.h"                   
               #include "ui_mainwindow.h"          
                                          
               MainWindow::MainWindow(QWidget *parent) : QMainWindow(parent), ui(new Ui::MainWindow)                   
               {                 
                   ui->setupUi(this);
            
                   m_server = new QTcpServer();                   
               }

You Can See In PushButton Click Event

When I Click On This Button

It Give Me Error -> "Unable to start the server . This Address Is Not available

I Want To Listen And Particular Client By Using It's Address And Get Data From It's

I Am Not Getting Any Solution

But

When I Used This :

               if(m_server->listen(QHostAddress::AnyIPv4 17116))

That Time It Working

But I Want to pass Any Particular IP Address in QHostAddress("IP_ADDRESS")

Please Help Me To Solve My Problem

Hi,

You can't pass any and all addresses you want to listen. It has to be one that is used by your machine if you have severals.

On a side note, please turn off whatever plugin you are using that make all your words starting with a capital letter. It makes your post hard to read.

Servers don't connect to clients. Clients connect to servers. The client initiates the session, and the server decided if it wants to accept the connection. It can selectively do so based on the IP of the incoming connection but it is the client that initiates.
