problem with TCP connection [modified]

[johland]

hi, i'm trying to write a compact file sharing application- server side and client. client connect to the server given port and ip (for searching files)and at the same time listening on a different port to other clients trying to connect (file transfering requests). while connected to the server and listening for incoming clients requests he can connect to other clients (for receiving files). i have problem testing this application on my computer: after connecting to server and starting to listen, when the client trying to create a new TcpClient connection object i get the TcpClient Exception:"The requested address is not valid in its context" thanks in advance yohay

This usually results from an attempt to bind a listening socket to an IP address that's not valid for the local machine. Are you using 127.0.0.1 as your ip address in the client (on the local machine)?

yes..(or tcpClient=new TcpClient("localhost", 9355);)
