Second socket cannot connect

[deiv23]

Hi, I have no problems establishing a connection for the first time. But after that first connection, I want to establish a new connection on the same port and ip, and the server socket (written in python) gets stuck on accept for this second connection.

Here is my code:

let options = {port:4444, host:self.props.ip, reuseAddress:true, localAddress:this.ipAddress, localPort:4444};
var options2 = {port:4444, host:self.props.ip, reuseAddress:true, localAddress:this.ipAddress, localPort:4444};

var client = TcpSocket.createConnection(options);
client.on('error', function(error) {
     console.log("error1->" + error);
});
client.write('config-' + this.ipAddress); // I receive this on the server side succesfully
client.destroy();

var client2= TcpSocket.createConnection(options2);  //this call does not trigger the accept on the server side

Could you please test the code with a different server in order to determine if it is a client or server-side issue?

I use same server with another app in react (not react-native), where I use 'net-socket' and it's working properly. Previously the server was on a windows machine, now I ported it to linux, I'll keep investigating to know if it is a server-side issue.

@deiv23, looking at your code, it looks like you are creating both sockets on the same localAddress and localPort, that may be causing the second client to not bind correctly.

Please, try to change the second localPort to a different one.

Hi @Rapsssito , you were right, the problem was on the server. Now is working properly. Thanks!!
