Datagram Socket: Won't bind to port

General JUCE discussion
1

Hi, I am try to set up two small applications to test Juce's DatagramSockets. I would like to be able to send UDP messages from one Juce application to another.

 

I have create a sender that is set up with similar code to this:

pDatagramSocket = new DatagramSocket(localPortNumber, true);

if (pDatagramSocket->connect(remoteHost, remotePortNumber))
{    
    switch (pDatagramSocket->waitUntilReady(false, 3000))
    {
        case 1: DBG("Socket ready"); break;
        case 0: DBG("Socket timed out"); break;
        case -1: DBG("Socket error"); break;
    }
}
else
    DBG("FAILED TO CONNECT");

I have also created a receiver with code something like this:

pDatagramSocket = new DatagramSocket(localPortNumber, true);

if (pDatagramSocket->bindToPort(localPortNumber))
{
    switch (pDatagramSocket->waitUntilReady(true, 3000))
    {
        case 1: DBG("Socket ready"); break;
        case 0: DBG("Socket timed out"); break;
        case -1: DBG("Socket error"); break;
    }
}
else
    DBG("FAILED TO CONNECT");

The issues that I am having is the receiver will not bind to a port. When if tries to bindToPort() if always seems to return false. I am not sure why this is. I tested the sender with a Python script and it seems to be working just fine.

 

Is there something I'm doing incorretly when setting up the receiver?
