Connecting Sockets

[branster707]

So I’ve just started learning how to use sockets and Im able to host a server on TouchLua and connect to it using Python on my laptop. However, when I try to host the server on my laptop and connect to it through TouchLua then I get the error “No route to host”. I’m not sure what could be causing this since I just started learning about sockets, so any help would be appreciated.


local socket = require("socket")

host = [Laptop’s IP]
port = [Port #]
local client = socket.tcp()
local status, err = client:connect(host,port)

if not err then
  print("Connection established as "..tostring(client))
  client:send("Hello there")
else
  error(err)
end

while true do
end


For the python server code, I do:

server = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET6, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
server.bind((host,port))
server.listen(5)

while True:
   client, addr = server.accept()
   print(“Connection Established with “+str(addr))
