When I upload dll with compiled server-side tutorial code to your server everything works fine. But when I try to run tutorials locally (remove comments from line

Code: Select all

client.multiplayer.developmentServer = "127.0.0.1:8184";

and start server with same dll on my PC) server logs:

client showing "Connecting", traces:

Code: Select all

Sucessfully connected to player.io

and doesn't enter to the handleJoin function.

System: windows 7 ultimate x64.
I tried "telnet 127.0.0.1 8184" and it was fine.
I tried the same code on my notebook with windows xp and everything worked fine.
Please help to fix.

Not sure what exactly is going on there as it looks like the connection where made.
Do any of the error-handlers trigger?

The problem could be related to localhost ipv6 issues in Windows 7. If you have a line like below in your hosts file.

Code: Select all

::1             localhost


Replace it with

Code: Select all

#::1             localhost


[Andrew[net21]]

My hosts file contains only:
127.0.0.1 localhost

Flash client performs this function:

Code: Select all

//Create pr join the room test
client.multiplayer.createJoinRoom(
   "drawpad",   //Room id. If set to null a random roomid is used
   "DrawPad",   //The game type started on the server
   true,        //Should the room be visible in the lobby?
   {},   //Room data. This data is returned to lobby list. Variabels can be modifed on the server
   {},   //User join data
   handleJoin,   //Function executed on successful joining of the room
   handleError   //Function executed if we got a join error
);

but doesn't perform "handleJoin" and doesn't perorm "handleError".

Again, if I comment line

Code: Select all

client.multiplayer.developmentServer = "127.0.0.1:8184";

and upload the same DrawPad.dll to your server then client works fine and performs handleJoin.

Don't know what can I do to try to fix this.

What does your development server say? Does it get the connection attempt?

What does your development server say? Does it get the connection attempt?

Development server says:

Server Started
========================
(waiting for connection)

Trying last loaded dll

Using Game Dll: DrawPad.dll
========================
(dll: C:\Develop\Network\PlayerIO\Flash\Example - Multiplayer - DrawPad\Serverside Code\Player.IO Test Server Project\bin\Debug\DrawPad.dll)

And when i start client server says:

=====[ Room Started: DrawPad ]=========
Game is started
>User Guest-3984 (1): Joined game
>User Guest-3984 (1): Left game
RoomId: drawpad

=====[ Room Closed ]===================
