Find Address of Server (link to Game Development OP)

This question was posed here:
Find Address of Server
but linked here for those that do not check the game developer board.

Thank you for the response.  After checking my router and looking around a bit, I see the UDP block operations are disabled on my router, so I do not think I will be persuing that avenue, and realistically this is going to be me and my family and maybe a few friends sitting around the house with our laptops and somebody says: Hey, let's play XYZ game so the lookup server options is not a good scenario either.
It did give me a reality check though -- I realistically can expect to only have to check the first few local IP addresses for this type of implementation, so the bruit force approach will work ok on the scale I'm implementing.
Thank you for your input!

    Hi All,
    I'm completely new to J2ME programming. But I have past experience on J2SE developement. Now I would like to know that where can I find a good tutorial for mobile game developement with J2ME ?
    I'll be very greatful if I can find a useful step-by-step tutorial (eg. "The Java Tutorial" for J2SE)
    Please point me ot the direction.
    Thanks

    ibook-widgets.com    have a free tutorial book in the iBooks store.  Search for "Create your first interactive book using iBooks Author"   they also  sell widgets.
    I  dont have any connection - I  found their eBook in the store long ago  and used it to learn more about iBA.
    The best advice though, is be patient,  go back over the process step by step, I cannot  access the Help files for some reason.. but i am sure its in their.

    I'm more or less in the same boat. I've got the admin console
    up. I am able to run the vodtest application locally pointing the
    video file to rtmp://localhost/vod/sample.flv or using the server
    name instead of localhost as in rtmp://mclmedia/vod/sample.flv
    I can also load the html and swf file to my xp machine that
    has access to the server via our internal network. (DNS isn't
    configured yet) But the connectionFailed message appears when I try

  • Find Address of Server

    I would like to be able to find the address of a server on my local network.
    I've been doinking around (specific local technical therm there) with a game idea, and in my thought process of designing the game I'd like to make the following happen in the implementation:
    I or anyone present can get online to play the game (not a problem I can program sockets).
    When a potential player comes on line, they would choose if they want to host the game or just participate, and if there are hosts already present, give them a list that are available to join.  Herein is my problem.  The server IP address would not be known at the time anyone comes online, and it could be any address covered in my local block 10.0.0.XXX or 192.168.0.XXX, well, except the router address.
    In all the work I've done in the past, the server IP address has always been known.  Also in the examples I have from the net and from my books everything assumes you know the IP address of the server, that approach is not a problem and I've done it many times, but now I am looking for the basic idea of how do "discover a server on the network".
    What I've thought so far is: use a bruit force type of algo where the client literally just checks everything in the local block using the protocol for the game.  Is that the way to do it using simple TCP/IP and Java or is there a more elegant way that I'm missing?
    I am not looking for coding examples, but just the basic idea verification or approach... even a suggested google search would be appreciated.

  • Software does not find the Database server

    Hi all,

  • Internet Connect Could not find a PPPoE server

    We just bought the new MacBook Pro and set it all up ok and yesterday bought a D-Link Wireless ADSL router.
    We can get onto the D-Link network fine and full signal is shown but when we try to connect the error "Internet Connect: Could not find a PPPoE server" comes up.
    Does anyone know what the problem is?
    I looked at a couple of other threads with similar tpics but none of them seemed to help me :S
    Do I just need to contact BT about it as they are our server or is it something setup wrongly?
    I hope you can help me
    Lizi

    ok, thanks
    I've done that but it still doesn't work
    whats VPN? and do I have to fill in that first(ie. Server address, not that i know what it would be, Account name and Password)? and PTTP or L2TP?
    this s totally conusing me...

  • Network Connection - could not find a PPPoE server

    This question is different from other similar ones I've read.
      I have a Windows box that I use every day, connected to DSL by ethernet to a D-Link modem/router. I frequently connect/disconnect my MacBook Pro 10.6.8 and, until recently, all was well. It would be online as soon as it booted up. Now, while my Windows machine still gets online fine, MacBook says my ethernet is connected, but I can't get online. My DHCP is fine, but when I click the connect button for PPPoE, I get the message "Network Connection - could not find a PPPoE server". I didn't look but I'm assuming it was using both DHCP and PPPoE when it was working properly.
      Took it to the shop and as soon as they plugged it in, it was online, with both the DHCP and PPPoE working.
      My ISP says it must be a driver issue for PPPoE, something to do with the configuration. So 2 shops say they can only fix it by coming to my home, instead of me taking it in to them. Are they correct, or how can I fix it myself, bearing in mind that I'm fairly new with this?

    Hi Grant,
    Got a different person at my ISP today, she says I have a dynamic IP address, so both my computers only need DHCP. We walked through my Windows machine network screen and it is definitely set up with just DHCP (just like the Mac). But she couldn't tell me why Windows was working and Mac wasn't. Which makes me wonder why the Apple shop told me to click on connect PPPoE!
    She said when I took my Mac to the shop and both DHCP and PPPoE were showing as active, only the DHCP was needed and actually doing anything. And she couldn't tell me why I couldn't just take my Mac plus the router into the shop and get it set up there.
    My UN and PW were 'admin', and I changed them long ago. Your instructions were identical to the router manual, but she couldn't tell me how to change them back to my chosen names if I followed those instructions. She also said a new router might fix the problem.
    Everybody seems to have different ideas (in addition to the 2 sales pitches), and I'll admit that I'm concerned that if I re-set the router it might mess up Windows so it doesn't work either. So I'm frozen!

  • Windows Game Development Contest - Is that an official event or should I be suspicious about it?

         Hi Everybody!!!
         Someone posted a link in a forum about a contest, similar to the DreamBuildPlay event that used to happen every year around these days. The name of the event is the "Windows Game Developer Contest". It's about
    porting an existing App from other platform to the Windows Store. The thing is that I have not been able to find if this is a real thing or just a hoax. I thought about asking, just in case - one can never be too careful with the Internet.

  • Cannot find any of the links under menu

    Hi guys,
    I made a installation of PT8.51 on Oracle11gR2 on Win2k8R2 64-bit.All scripts ran successfully.Everything went fine.Iam using 2 machines i.e. one as an application server and other as an database server.I configured the application server and booted it.I configured the PIA and i logged into it but to my surprise i cannot find any of the links or anything under the menu.Why is it.Do i have to run any scripts to grant the user PS some permission to access the menu or what??Pls help me.Do i have to make any further configuration on any of the servers?

    Thank you for your reply.No nic i have not managed for an upgrade.Is there any other way to check that i have got everything in my PIA.I doubt it may be something like the PS user is not granted the security to access any of the links.PLs advise what to do?

  • Lion Server: iOS 5 clients can't connect to Address Card Server

    I have set up shared accounts on the server for Calendar and Address Book (family) sharing. Although I can add and use the Address Book shared account on OS X Lion clients, I can't get this to work on iOS 5 clients (iPhone nor iPad). I keep on getting "CardDAV account verification failed".
    Calendar sharing works just fine on both OS X and iOS5 clients
    Let me briefly describe my setup and observations:
    Server:
    Running Lion Server 10.7.2 on Mac Mini (server)
    Using SSL connections with keys generated during set-up of the server
    Portforwarding in router (ao) for 8008 and 8843 (iCal and Address Book)
    Created  shared accounts on server for Calendar ("sharedcalendar") and Address Book ("sharedcontacts")
    In the DNS server I created services in my primary zone for "_caldavs._tcp." and "_carddavs._tcp." both on port 8443
    OS X Client (Calendar)
    Created additional CalDAV account in preferences (user "sharedcalendar")
    Left the server settings untouched (server path, port "auto" and using SSL but not Kerberos)
    Created in "sharedcalendar" different calendars and reminder lists for the family members which each can access from their OS X client
    This account is now set-up through Profile Manager (tried this with Address Book as well but didn't make any difference)
    iOS 5 Client (Calendar)
    Once tested on standalone and got this working I'm now using the Profile Manager to push the definition of the shared account to all clients
    Hostname with port 8443 (default)
    Left Principal URL blank since it was optional
    User "shared calendar" with the appropriate password
    Ticked "Use SSL"
    OS X client (Address Book)
    Created additional CardDAV account in preferences (user "sharedcontacts").
    Left the server settings untouched (port 443 using SSL)
    iOS 5 client (Address Book)
    In the settings add a CardDAV account (server, user "sharedcontacts", password, description).
    First error message "Cannot connect Using SSL. Do you want to try setting up the account without SSL?". When I press continue I get the error "CardDAV account verification failed"
    If I then save the account details still and edit the account I can access the "advanced settings". When I change to SSL I have tried port 0 (default value), 8443 (the one that's listed in the documentation) and 8843 (which is used by default if you try to set up the
    account in Profile Manager). All to no avail, including Profile Manager
    Observations:
    Lion Server app nicely lists both Calendar and Address Book Server as active (plus Profile Manager, File Server, Web server and Wiki server)
    When I access my server home page, Calendar is listed in addition to other services (Mail | Calendar | Change Password | Profile Manager) but not Address Book. Is this normal behaviour? i.e. can't Address Book entries be changed through a web interface?
    Address Book on OS X client uses 443 for SSL but does not require me to define port 8443 for secure iCal or Address Book server communications
    Lion Server Profile Manager specifies port 8843 as port for SSL communication. I only saw 8443 listed in documentation
    The response "can't connect .." or "account verification failed" happens very quick which make me think either the verification doesn't even leave the iPad or there is something wrong in the SSL connection
    Since iCal set-up works nicely using the same ports I am puzzled why it doesn't work for Address Book
    Your solutions or suggestions how to investigate are most welcome,
    Erik

    Thanks for joining the discussion.
    Although port 8443 is mosten quoted as correct port for CalDAV and CardDAV, port 8843 can be found both on Apple's website and other places:
    see Technical Note 1649 to find port 8443 listed for iCal and port 8843 for Address Book
    Mac OS X Lion Server for Dummies (sic) lists port 8843 on pages 236 and 238 but port 8443 in many other places
    when you want to push iCal and Address Book information with Profile Manager, Profile Manager lists port 8443 for iCal but port 8843 for Address Book as default:
    So I hope you understand I'm somewhat puzzled.
    I did get the Address Book working for my Lion desktops with the all the necessary certificates as far as I know, just not for the iOS devices (iPhone and IpPad). iCal sharing from Lion Server works fine on both Lion and iOS devices.

  • Could not find a PPPoE server problem.

    I have been running my G4 plugged into a netgear ethernet hub for quite some time to get online. I also have a wireless router connected to it on which I run my windows laptops. I never had a problem having them all online at one time. I didn't use my G4 for a few weeks, when I turned it back on and tried to get online, I got the "could not find a PPPoE server" message. If I unplug the ethernet cable from the hub and plug it directly to the DSL modem, it connects with no problem, plug it back into the hub and it won't connect. I swapped the hub for a Linksys 5 port ethernet 10/100 switch. Same thing happens and I get the same message, but it will not get online if any of the PCs are online, if I shut the PCs down then the mac gets online, but if I have the mac online then the PCs will not connect. I have been on the phone with the drones from earthlink and they have been useless. If you tell them that you are running any kind of routing device the will not help you at all. I am at a loss as to how to get around this, like I said, it was all working fine before. I am not sure if the problem is at my end or if earthlink did something at their end. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    G4 Mac OS X (10.4.7) dual 533 MHz
    G4   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    Do you need to "spoof" the MAC address of the router or hub? some ISPs actually read and register the hardware MAC address of the first two devices downlinked. Modem and router, modem and G4, etc.
    I stopped using a hub once switches got inexpensive and routers came with switch capability. Now have an all in one modem + router/switch which simplifies setup, wires, and only one device to worry about (but have backup modem and router etc from before in case anything should happen).
    Possible that something happened. Or that your router needs to be reset. Or that a storm did something while you were gone, though you seem to have swapped devices enough to rule that part out. Or a bad cat5 cable that a mouse or cat gnawed on.
    My guess is set the Linksys to the same MAC address of the hub you were using or call Earthlink again (hard I know) and have them re-authenticate the new router's MAC address.
    Do you have a surge protector in front of your modem? and again an RJ45 filter before it goes out to your router or G4? I put all my equipment on APC UPS and going through surge and line protection to protect ethernet ports and equipment.

  • Data sources (ODBC) config -MS SQL Server linking

    OS -WS2008 R2-64
    I realize that the problems I'm experiencing are not one’s everyday’s activities and are falling quite astray of the regular Oracle dba work.
    There is no other place to post but here as the MS SQL Server forums were not able to provide any solution so far.
    I hope somebody could have experienced similar issues and could have solutions or at least to point to the right direction.
    The box has a MS SQL Server 2008 that has to be linked with an Oracle 10g database on a different box(SunOS 5.10).
    The source for the ODBC drivers supposed to be Oracle Client + ODAC.
    The simple scenario of linking SQL Server to Oracle got developed into an ugly battle with Oracle drivers to be recognized by the SQL Server.
    Numerous installations-de-installations of the Oracle Client 10g + ODAC and Oracle Client 11 + ODAC led to nowhere.
    The major points of failures are:
    1. The OracleMTS Recovery Service gets broken and can not start - the installation of ODAC fails.
    Following the Metalink: Recreating Oracle MTS Recovery Service [ID 836137.1]
    fails even with domain admin account - "access denied".
    2. In case when the Oracle Client + ODAC get a successful installation:
    -     no effort could make the oracle drivers to ne recognized by the SQL server.
    Even with config of Data Sources (ODBC) and successful connection test against the Oracle databases -> there is no way to have the oracle OraOLEDB.Oracle listed in the SQL Server dropdown window with available drivers.
    3. Data Sources (ODBC) - fail to initiate reporting bogus reasons.
    As there are 32 and 64 bit of applications (ODBC Managers) and corresponding – or not – drivers------ there is a reportedly confusion over the forums which drivers are for which OS.
    The bottom line is – linking fails (something I have done successfully before).
    I have the feeling there is something wrong with our environments, but have no way to prove it.
    I’m posting with a little hope for help.
    Thx,

    WS2008 is 64 bit
    MS SQL Server 2008 is 64-bit
    Solaris is 64-bit
    Oracle is 64-bit
    Oracle's OLE DB - as OraOLEDB.Oracle
    or Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (MSDASQL) .
    The road block is that I can not configure a Data Sources (ODBC) - System DSN with any of OraOLEDB.Oracle or MSDASQL because they are not listed on the list of available drivers!!!!
    Source for OraOLEDB.Oracle has to be the Client11g - ODAC installation. - at no avail
    Source for MSDASQL should be the OS by itself as the driver is built in. - at no avail
    (the SQL server recognizes the MSDASQ - listed under Linked servers providers).
    As per the information from Microsoft and other forums - the mess is based upon 32 - 64 bit applications and drivers; on the way the installations were done.
    Even the server administrator advises for a new installation.
    Thx,
