*) Does receivenetworkstring() exists in PB 3.40 ?
-> Due to network behavior you should code it yourselfe to be sure to receive your datas correctly. (Search the Tips & Tricks, Ive posted an example some months ago)
*) How to use streaming data in PB.
You can still done it due to a normal tcp/ip connection. But indeed, UDP will be better here if you want to stream audio or movie datas.
*) How to retrieve remote ip/port from connected client when in server mode.
I think I have posted an example here to. You should know the port the client has connected to. If you want I can post you the IP thingie here again if I'm at home.
*) How to Bind to a specific IP address using PB. running a server.
What do you mean with this? if you want you can use the Bind_() command to bind sockets.
*) Is Case 3 in networkserverevent() realy blocking the program or only
the current thread or event? or also the windows event?
For every networkevent I use WSAAsyncSelect_ to be shure not to be in blocked mode.
*) How to read from Structure's like SOCKADDR_IN when connection in established?
See the Tips & Tricks section. you will see it there. (Like the IP thingie, you can find the incomming client IP in this structure)
*) Will UDP be provided in the future? Multicast and/or Broadcast?
Fred? I'm not the only one who wants to get UDP support!
)
*) Does a networkserverevent() handles current clientid 1 at the time or should clientID
still be checked in Case 2 / 3 / 4
clientids are the sockets allocated by windows. every connection has its own socket (clientid) and could not be the same as another connection. If you mean this.
Thats pritty it...
