I am using Mobile Hotspot with configurations Security:WPA2-Personal and AP Band:2.4GHz-band
.
Server code:
import socket
s = socket.socket()
print ("Socket successfully created")
s.bind(("0.0.0.0", 9999)) # xxxx also does not work
# xxx=external ip address returned by https://checkip.amazonaws.com/
s.listen(3)
print("waiting for connections...")
while True:
print ("Entered while loop!!!")
flag = input("Stop: ")
if flag == "y":
break
# Establish connection with client.
c, addr = s.accept()
print ('Got connection from', addr )
# send a thank you message to the client. encoding to send byte type.
c.send('Thank you for connecting 9433'.encode())
# Close the connection with the client
c.close()
flag = input("Stop: ")
if flag == "y":
break
Client Code:
# Import socket module
import socket
# Create a socket object
s = socket.socket()
# Define the port on which you want to connect
port = 9999
# connect to the server on local computer
s.connect(('xxxx', port)) # xxxx=external ip address returned by https://checkip.amazonaws.com/
# receive data from the server and decoding to get the string.
print (s.recv(1024).decode())
# close the connection
s.close()
What I want to achieve
Let's say I have started the server in one of my computer(note:moblie hotspot connected). My other computer is in another apartment connected to another mobile hotspot. I want them to communicate in all ways possible- such as checking battery level, asking to create a folder or file, sending or receving file, etc. In all of this, my laptop acts like a server and the other PC always keep checking if the server is running. If runing, it connects to my laptop
Current Problem
I can do this communication using localhost
. But cannot do it in two completely seperate Pcs.
I am getting the error Win 10060
in my current code.
Please note: The above code is in its simplest form and I am just trying to establish the connection so that I can send and receive data. After that I will modify it.
If My approach is wrong or there is conceptual problem, please write in the comments.
