Re^3: No data received on client socket

[caelifer]

This looks more and more like a network / os configuration problem. Check your host configs. Is there a pocket filter active on the host itself? Is it possible that you have some other client binded to the same port? I'm not sure if socket interface on Windows allows that though. As a last suggestion try write a simple echo server and run it on the localhost with the same port number and see if your application can receive a message. Or maybe simulate a network exchage with Telnet session.

# Simple echo server using POE framework (from CPAN)
#!/usr/bin/perl

use warnings;
use strict;

use POE qw(Component::Server::TCP);

POE::Component::Server::TCP->new(
    Port        => 12345,
    ClientInput => \&client_input,
);

POE::Kernel->run();
exit;

sub client_input {
    my ($heap, $input) = @_[ HEAP, ARG0 ];
    print "[$$]: $input\n";
    $heap->{client}->put($input);
}

I tried to run the echo server but I don't get anything back.
This is the tcpdump kind of output I get out of the original script (and with yours and ikegami's suggestions):


client:/home/user # tcpdump -i eth0 -A port 6928 -xX -vv -s 0

listening on eth0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 65535 byt
+es

16:59:48.813909 IP (tos 0x0, ttl  64, id 22143, offset 0, flags [DF], 
+proto: TCP (6), length: 60) client.12110 > server.6928:

16:59:48.814003 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 128, id 58743, offset 0, flags [DF], 
+proto: TCP (6), length: 64) server.6928 > client.12110: S, cksum 0x82
+75 (correct), 1326247112:1326247112(0) ack 4102086732 win 17520

I've noticed that the port on the client changes every time i run the script. May it be this the problem ? How could I stick it to the 6928 port ?
Unfortunetely I cannot run right now tcpdump on the older Linux boxes where it works fine, to see if there is any difference.
Thanks a lot for any hint.

That's normal.
