Rugby

I try to use Rugby protocol by doing this, first I setup the server: * >>do %rugby-base.r * >>triple: func [n [integer!]][3 * n] * >>serve [triple] Everything is working well, so I setup the client: * >>do %rugby-base.r * >>do get-rugby-service http://63.203.208.251:8002 <http://63.203.208.251:8002/> * >>triple 3 So as you must expect, I receive 9 as answer. I know that the server is running very well inside my network, and now I setup my router to forward request on port 8002 to the appropriate machine (192.168.1.102). I have a contact outside that is doing the exact same thing to setup its client and he receives this message when he tries to execute the function: ** Access Error: Cannot connect to 192.168.1.102 ** Where: open-proto ** Near: return to-result read/custom proxy reduce I also tried to use this parameter when I started the server: * serve/restrict [triple] [65.125.103.100] Same error message happened. If you have any idea what I could do wrong. Thanks! yanick.rochon; Consultant(informatique); www.redactek.com;

Hi Gregg, My outside contact is using my public address because he's doing something like this: do get-rugby-service http://24.200.255.203:8002 When he's doing that, no problem, the connection is working between my computer and his computer, he receives no error message. But when he's calling the function "triple", then appears the error message. Thanks a lot for your feedback! yanick.rochon; Consultant(informatique); www.redactek.com;

Yanick, Rugby responds with the internal "private" ip address to the get-rugby-service function call. So that when you call "triple" it is using the ip address that was passed on by get-rugby-service. If you want to change the ip that rugby uses to respond you can use this. configure-rugby [ set ip address for stubs to 24.200.255.203 ] before calling serve [ triple ] It would be great if rugby could respond to requests according to the ip address that the client is connecting to. I am not sure if this can be done. But I am looking into it. Just responding with an specific ip address can create trouble in mutihomed and nat scenarios. Hope this helps, Cheers, Jaime On Monday, March 10, 2003, at 11:51 PM, yanick rochon wrote:

So you want Rugby to listen on/respond to multiple network interfaces? This is tricky because the stubs generator does not know what ip address to include in the stubs then. I think this can be changed, but... it will be some sort of a rewrite which will take some time. If using [ set ip address ... ] doesn't do the trick let me know and we see what we can work out. --Maarten

Hi Jaime, I received the same advice from Marteen Koopmans and you were right, it's working now, thanks a lot! yanick.rochon; Consultant(informatique); www.redactek.com;

Yanick, I'm glad it works for you. Of course I am not surprised ;-) --Maarten
