ASIO: Windows/Linux/Mac socket inter-operability
Hi, I have a C/S-application that uses ASIO-sockets. The application runs fine if I try to connect between 2 Windows or 2 Linus or 2 Mac machineas. However, it fails to work with a "reset by peer" error if I try to connect between Windows and Linux, Windows and Mac or Linux and Mac. Is there anything known about problems wrt inter-os connections, and if so, is there a solution for this? TIA -- Groeten, Joost Kraaijeveld Molukkenstraat 14 6524NB Nijmegen tel: 024-3607445 / 06-51855277

Can you clear there is no networking issue? I mean, can you normally open such sockets between "inter-racial" machines (with networking tools)?

I can telnet, ssh and see webpages from Windows to Linux and vice versa. Don't have a mac at hand to personally verify it, but I get reports from my students that the can browse.

Then I would investigate the issue with tools like wireshark and application logging.

No known issue. I suspect that the recipient cannot parse the exchanged data correctly.

It depends on the exchange format that you use. If it is binary, and you have made no special encoding, then it could be an 32 vs 64 bit issue, alignment/padding, or endianess.

... I would skip the endianess issue, at least for the Linux/Windows mismatch. I still recommend to use tools like wireshark to inspect the actual handshake and communication stream.
