    <p>I am currently attempting to create a basic LAN socket server, which works correctly when I use both the client and the server on the same computer. When I attempt to use the client and server on two computers (mac and windows) the connection is consistently refused on the client side. Here is the error that I got on my mac:</p> <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/*****/Desktop/Client V2.py", line 31, in &lt;module&gt; s.connect((host, port)) File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 224, in meth return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args) error: [Errno 61] Connection refused </code></pre> <p>On my windows I had the same error, only the number was different. I have turned off windows firewall for both incoming and outgoing connections, and I am confused as to what the actual issue is. Here is the code that I had for my ports:</p> <p><strong>Client</strong></p> <pre><code>#Get host and port info to connect host = 'localhost' port = input ("What is the PORT number?") </code></pre> <p>I am not sure if these lines are necessary, perhaps they are the root cause of the problem:</p> <pre><code>try: remote_ip = socket.gethostbyname(host) except socket.gaierror: #could not resolve print "Hostname could not be resolved. Exiting" sys.exit() </code></pre> <p>And finally, the actual code that connects. (I called the socket <code>s</code>) s.connect((host, port))</p> <p><strong>Server</strong></p> <pre><code>HOST = 'localhost' #Symbolic name meaning all available interfaces PORT = input ("Enter the PORT number (1 - 10,000)") s = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM) print "Socket Created" try: s.bind((HOST, PORT)) except socket.error, msg: print "Bind failed. Error Code : " + str(msg[0]) + " Message " + str(msg[1]) sys.exit() print "Socket Bind Complete" s.listen(10) print "Socket now listening" </code></pre> <p>I am certain that I have done something really silly, but can someone please tell me what my mistake is (or if this is even possible cross-os). I already posted <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/14784132/general-python-socket-questions-with-several-answers">here</a>, but no one responded. I have several other questions there, and it would be great if someone could attempt to answer them. </p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
