Whenever I open a listening socket (tcp and udp) on the phone (6670, 1.1.6), all incoming connections are shown to be from 0.8.0.0, regardless of the real IP, where the connection/datagram is coming from (tested with different IP addresses, 10.0.0.X). I can see this behaviour with accept() and with recfrom().
Nevertheless, the socket is shown correctly.

Thanks,

Hi,

the fact that you get 0.8.0.0 is because the mobile phone doesn't have a real IP address.
Therefore the accept() method is intended to be used only internally, for IPC.

Hi,

but how does it come, that
>>> gethostbyname(gethostname))
shows my real IP address, the phone got from ppp? (10.0.0.101)

You mean gethostbyname(gethostname()) ?
I can't replicate that on a 6630. Note that gethostname() is currently just a stub hardcoded to return 'localhost'.

yes, i mean gethostbyname(gethostname())-but results are really the same with localhost.

all i did within python was:
>>> from socket import *
>>> gethostbyname('localhost')

these are the different outputs i can see:
- '0.0.0.0', when not connected at all
- '10.129.X.Y', connected via GPRS
- '10.0.0.101', connected via Bluetooth to my desktop

So the access to the underlying symbian IP part works, I guess. Just the peername of a socket makes this 0.8.0.0 problem.

Okay, here is exactly what I do:

phone:
>>> from socket import *
>>> HOST = '10.0.0.101'
>>> PORT = 50007
>>> gethostbyname('www.google.com')
'66.249.93.99'
>>> s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
>>> s.bind((HOST, PORT))
>>> s.listen(1)
>>> conn, addr = s.accept()
>>> print 'Connected by', addr
Connected by ('0.8.0.0', 54322)
>>> while 1:
>>> data = conn.recv(1024)
>>> if not data: break
>>> conn.send(data)
>>> conn.close()

desktop:
>>> from socket import *
>>> HOST = '10.0.0.101'
>>> PORT = 50007
>>> s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM)
>>> s.connect((HOST, PORT))
>>> s.send('Hello, world')
>>> data = s.recv(1024)
>>> s.close()
>>> print 'Received', repr(data)
Hello, world'
