    <p>I'm new to Sockets, please excuse my complete lack of understanding. </p> <p>I have a server script(server.py): </p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/python import socket #import the socket module s = socket.socket() #Create a socket object host = socket.gethostname() #Get the local machine name port = 12397 # Reserve a port for your service s.bind((host,port)) #Bind to the port s.listen(5) #Wait for the client connection while True: c,addr = s.accept() #Establish a connection with the client print "Got connection from", addr c.send("Thank you for connecting!") c.close() </code></pre> <p>and client script (client.py): </p> <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/python import socket #import socket module s = socket.socket() #create a socket object host = '192.168.1.94' #Host i.p port = 12397 #Reserve a port for your service s.connect((host,port)) print s.recv(1024) s.close </code></pre> <p>I go to my desktop terminal and start the script by typing: </p> <pre><code>python server.py </code></pre> <p>after which, I go to my laptop terminal and start the client script: </p> <pre><code>python client.py </code></pre> <p>but I get the following error: </p> <blockquote> <p>File "client.py", line 9, in </p> <p>s.connect((host,port)) </p> <p>File "/usr/lib/python2.7/socket.py", line 224, in meth</p> <p>return getattr(self._sock,name)(*args)</p> <p>socket.error: [Errno 111] Connection refused</p> </blockquote> <p>I've tried using different port numbers to no avail. However, I was able to get the host name using the same ip and the gethostname() method in the client script and I can ping the desktop (server). </p>

    1. COTry using [telnet](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telnet). It often helps me. Type in your terminal `telnet [IP] 12397` (replace IP with what `gethostname()` returns). If you do it so you should see `Thank you for connecting`. If not, please show me what telnet returned.

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.
