Custom ip25232 not working #113

Closed nelgin closed 8 months ago

nelgin commented 1 year ago

I'm running tcpser on my PC with the following command

tcpser -tsS -v 25232 -p 6400 -l 5 -s 1200

I'm trying to connect BeebEm on port 6400 so in Preferences.cfg I changed the following:

IP232customip=127.0.0.1 IP232customport=6400

However when I elect custom ip23252 in the menu I get

"Could not connect to specified address"

Using version 4.18 from 13 Jun 2022.

of course, I can connect to the port if I telnet directly.

I think this is the same issue as https://github.com/stardot/beebem-windows/issues/103 (the port number is in hex in Preferences.cfg)

nelgin commented 1 year ago

Indeed. Maybe the fact it needs to be in hex should be documented somewhere (other than buried in a git issue) or changed to be decimal?

It would be even better if you could enter a decimal host/port in the app so you don't have to edit configs. It doesn't work well when operating two versions of BeebEm at the same time.

Yes, I agree, having a way to enter the config without editing preferences would be good.

This was fixed in v4.19, which added a dialog box to configure the serial port settings, including IP address and port.
