Yesterday i try to run the WiFi RS21 Module on FEZ Spider.
The connection from FEZ Spider to my local network and to the internet works fine.
But when i try to create a socket and listen on a port , then i can’t accses the port from my workstation.
A ping from my workstation to FEZ-Spider doesn’t works to.
I have already installed the newest firmware and lib’s from January.
I try it with GHI and Gadgeteer functions , but it’s always the same result.
I hope someone can give me a tip.
Best regards Raphael

And the problem is , now i can’t connect port 8000 from my workstation.
Eric, not sure why the DNS test is in the server either, but I can’t really see that it would be a cause for concern?
in your initial problem statement you said:
[quote]The connection from FEZ Spider to my local network and to the internet works fine.

Simply put, if you can’t PING to the Fez, then any comms isn’t going to work.
What is your PC’s IP address? Is it on the same address range as the hardcoded address you have defined, and is it connected to the same network and router? Until you can PING the device, you can’t expect any other protocol or communication layer to work. You need to get basic connectivity working before you try to get the socket server working.
Furthermore, if you have a fancy router/access point, some of them have options to keep wireless clients isolated from each other.
For instance my Netgear WNDR3700 wireless router has this as an option, if you enable it none of the wireless clients can communicate with each other, they can only communicate with the internet.
I have only add this lines to check the comunication from FEZ to my router. Another test that i have made was to use webrequest to get one webpage from Internet that works also.
My problem is only the comunication to FEZ-Spider.
@ Joe, he already said that fails; Yes, I think that’s the fundamental issue here too, until you can do something simple like PING the Fez device, you aren’t going to get anything else working.
