Hi, I have setup simple server in clisp (ubuntu) and it works fine when
I am accessing it through local computer.
The problem is that I cannot access it from external computer (on the
local net). I have python version of the server and it is accessible
from computers attached to the lan.
The code I am using is:
(defun serve (server)
        (unwind-protect
                (format t "~&Waiting for a connection on ~S:~D~%"
(socket:socket-server-host server) (socket:socket-server-port server))
                (connection-handle server)
                (socket:socket-server-close server)))

(serve (socket:socket-server 8809 :interface "192.168.0.3" :backlog 1))

I have tried to use default values for :interface, or to specifi new
values, but no success.
It always gives me "Waiting for a connection on 127.0.0.1" even when I
specify non existing IP for the interface.
Please give me a clue. Thanks

Thanks a lot. I am a 2 week lisper and was sure I am doing something
wrong. Fortunately, after installing the latest clisp all went smooth.
Thanks for replay. I will be more elaborate next time.

i can say that it works on Debian Etch (2.41) and Windows XP (2.39) --  
socket is bound to interface that is specified in the call.
if non-existent IP is specified, it reports error.
when no IP is specified, it binds on 0.0.0.0 -- that is all interfaces.

maybe some update is available on ubuntu, or you can build clisp from 
sources?
it's unlikely that something outside of clisp affects it (firewall?), but 
who knows.

The B.A.BA of reporting a problem is to give the version numbers of
the problematic software.  There has been some clisp versions where
this problem is a known bug.

The second point would be to give us a complete function demonstrating
the problem.  We don't know what connection-handle does.  I don't see
any call to socket:socket-accept...
