Session.RemoteHost |
Sun, Oct 22 2017 6:51 PM | Permanent Link |
Malcolm Taylor | Following the previous thread I now have a beta C/S running rather more
easily that I expected and it has survived a small, 2-day international competition. But I just ran into a small issue with using the RemoteHost property on the server host. I chose to use my computer's hostname rather than an IP address when connecting to the server (on the local machine) and it worked .. mostly. But on one machine which had VMWarePlayer installed, connecting the Session picked up one of the VMWare IP addresses (on a different subnet) and that broke my home-brewed database copy/synchronise procedure. Replacing the actual hostname with 'localhost' for the purpose of connecting to the server on the same host, appears to have fixed my problem. Have others run into this issue and is this the correct/best solution? Malcolm |

Any time you use the RemoteHost property, you are subject to DNS queries that can be affected by the hosts file as well as the DNS server being used and which records it has access to on the local LAN/machine.

I have experimented using 'localhost', or a blank hostname '', or the IP address my app knows. All appeared to give me a working connection and my copy/synchronise. Can I take it that with a blank RemoteHost, the Session will fall back to the RemoteAddress which I have left defaulting to 127.0.0.1 ? Malcolm |

Sorry about the late reply, I completely missed your response... << Can I take it that with a blank RemoteHost, the Session will fall back to the RemoteAddress which I have left defaulting to 127.0.0.1 ? >> That is correct. Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

I can understand avoiding Mexico City but Scotland is nice (apart from our politicians but those are horrible everywhere) Roy Lambert |
