Here is my code:
WITH ThisForm.Winsock1.Object
.Protocol = 0
.remotehost = 'localhost'
.remoteport = 1024
.connect() && error here
.SendData('123')
ENDWITH

I am getting an error from Winsock "Connection forcefully rejected .."
Any idea?

>>I am trying to send data to a TCP port. What port should I use for my testing?

Now the client - say, Opera (a browser) - will send segments (2) with a destination port of 80, and an origin port of 1024 (or some other number). Let's assume it is port 1024. For the next file that is requested - another window, or another file for the same browser window (e.g. another image), the client will assign port 1025.

>(1) I guess this means that the Web server application registered itself with the operating system, or perhaps more specifically with a TCP process, thus informing it that any traffic to the specified port should be sent to the Web server, which will process it.

>(2) "Packet" is used for layer 3 (IP); at layer 4 (TCP or UDP) the equivalent word is "segment". It is a similar concept.
