Hello,

I am developing a TCP/IP client and server application to communicate via the internet but I am having disconnection issues. I have tested on the LAN and the application works fine without any disconnection but the disconnection issues happens when I use it remotely. The server is an embedded platform using PIC24F and the client is a simple TCP/IP client from codeproject. I am using port 3002 and have setup my router to port forward to the IP address of the embedded platform. I have ping it from the client PC and that seems fine. I have also check if the port is open by using www.canyouseeme.org.

Any ideas?

Paul

It would be good to give a brief explanation, if anyone searching for this lands on this page...

Default keep alive timeout in the Microchip library is 30ms. Increase the timeout to resolve the issue and it is working fine.

Now I am having an issue with disconnection after several hours of operation. I was wondering if that is ISP issue. I am currently using dynamic dns setup on one of the router and port forward to a static IP address setup on the server. My client sends a request every 5 minutes. After over 4 hours of running the application, the disconnection happens. Is this an ISP issue (Orcon)?

I know in real-life situation, the software will have to cope with the reconnection. Currently the embedded server copes with the disconnection by using the keep alive timers and reinitialise the TCP/IP stack.

Probably the best way to investigate would to be capture a log of the traffic with wireshark at the client and server ends
