client/server
Posted: Wed Feb 03, 2016 11:29 am
I want to do the TCP client/server communication between Raspberry Pi and laptop with Ubuntu OS running using VMware Workstation. Raspberry Pi act as the client and Ubuntu act as the server. I am able to successfully compile the client and server program.But on the client side it throws an error ERROR, no such host. I made changes in Ubuntu network settings to share with other computers. But still communication is not taking place. I am able to ping successfully between Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu. But I am not able to communicate between the client and server side. Can anyone solve this issue and suggest me how to do the network settings in Ubuntu so that Pi and Ubuntu can communicate.
