Hi,

I am trying to write a server-client socket app that facilitates comm between two phones. I am having a problem with the server app when it tries to initiate itself.

I reached the stage where the IAP connections list is displayed where i managed to select an approperiate conneection (T-Mobile). The app waits to get the RConenction::Start() returns KErrNone in iStatus. Once that completed and no error is returned i process the state in RunL() according to the state i set after Start() (which is iState=EStartConnecting). Till here everything is going well without any troubles. But when i am in that block of RunL and try to get the IP address assigned for the "server" phone i always get 0.0.0.0. Why is that? i checked if the block in RunL would be entered if i choose an unproper IAP (say orange) but it does not. I am using the following code sequence (not the exact code):

// in header
RSocketServ iSockServ;
RConnection iConn;
RSocket iSocket;
RSocket iServiceSock;
TInt iState;

...
// in ConstructL
User::LeavIfError(iSockServ.Connect());

User::LeavIfError(conn.Open(iSockServ));
User::LeaveIfError(conn.Start(iStatus));    // get the IAP list to select from
iState = EStartConnecting;
SetActive();

...
// in RunL
if(iState == EStartConnecting && iStatus == KErrNone)
{
User::LeaveIfErro(iSocket.Open(iSockServ, KAfInet, KSockStream, KProtocolInetTcp, iConn));
TInetAddr addr;
addr.SetPort(3100);
iSocket.LocalName(addr);    // to put the IP address in addr

// Display the Ip address here (via addr.Address()) and i get 0.0.0.0

User::LeaveIfError(iSocket.Bind(addr));
User::LeaveIfError(iSocket.Listen(20));

iServiceSock.Open(iSockServ);
iServiceSock.Accept(iSocket, iStatus);
iState = EConnecting;
SetActive();
}

best
