Error 10061 on socket

Post by Paul D » Mon Apr 12, 2010 8:52 pm

Simple open socket command... Open socket to "192.168.0.18:514"

socketError result is "Error 10061 on socket" but... where can I find what the error code number means?

Hi Paul,

This might be a socket binding error. Try port 1025 or higher. Another possibility is that no connections are accepted on port 514.

You can find a list of error codes at http://qurl.tk/8z .

Best,

Well, the port can't be changed. What I'm trying to do is read from the port that our router is sending log information to. I found another program to read the information and send it to a text file so the port can definitely be read, I just wanted to see if Rev could work.
