Hi All,
I'm getting inconsistent results from the RTCS getpeername() function when I use it to determine the IP port/adr of a remote device that requested a connection to my listen socket. I have an MQX task dedicated to supporting a blocking call to the accept() function (listening for a connection request). When accept() returns with a connection request I create a new socket for this connection and service it in it's own MQX task. When I use getpeername() to learn about who connected to me about half the time the IP address and port data are all 0's. Subsequent calls to getpeername() will some times return valid info and other times return 0's.
The example code for using this function is pretty simple but perhaps there's more to it? I'm running MQX ver 3.7 on a MPC5125 PowerPC Tower System Eval board. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. ~Tim
