Socket programing(make a chat software) summary 1:How to accsess LAN from WAN
First we should know some basic conceptions about network:
1.Every PC is supposed to have its own IP,So we can connent other‘s PC by WAN.That‘s just like a ID of netwrok world.
2.But if every PC has its own IP,Then IPs of this world will be insufficient.Because IPv4 is only 32-bit.
3.So, in fact we are not using a IP of WAN, but using a IP of LAN.
If there is a IP of 192.168.2.100 in one LAN, and there will also be another IP of 192.168.2.100 in another LAN.
It‘s not contradict because we use NAT to convert the IP of LAN into the IP of WAN(the unique ip).
As for my software,I need two PC connected and chatting.But the IP of normal users are all LAN. different LANs.So they can not connect just by Socket program.
So,I must convert the IP from LAN to WAN.
At least one --- the server‘s.
I use a technique of PORT MAPPING. implemented by a software called phddns.
Download the phddns: phddns_3.0_x86_64.deb
dpkg -i phddns_3.0_x86_64.deb
Use the SN and password to log in the website of phddns.
Then set the network penetration:
As for the code, very simple C socket program.

/** * server program of lsp-chat * by WHOAMI localhost purstar Atum * Oct 5 2016 * version 1.0 **/#include <sys/socket.h>#include <stdio.h>#include <stdlib.h>#include <netinet/in.h>#include <string.h>#include <arpa/inet.h>int main(int argc, char *argv[]){ unsigned int my_port, lisnum; int sockfd, new_fd; socklen_t len; if (argv[2]) my_port = atoi(argv[2]); else my_port = 7575; if (argv[3]) lisnum = atoi(argv[3]); else lisnum = 5; struct sockaddr_in server_addr, clients_addr; //create socket object if((sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0))==-1) { perror("socket"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } //set server_addr 0 bzero(&server_addr, sizeof(server_addr)); server_addr.sin_family = AF_INET; server_addr.sin_port = htons(my_port); if (argv[1]) server_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(argv[1]); else server_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY; //bind the socket with ip and port if (bind(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) &server_addr, sizeof(struct sockaddr)) == -1) { perror("bind"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } //listern and wait for connecting if(listen(sockfd,lisnum) == -1) { perror("listen"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } printf("wait for connect\n"); len = sizeof(struct sockaddr); //get the client connection if((new_fd = accept(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *) &clients_addr, &len) == -1)) { perror("accept"); exit(EXIT_FAILURE); } else printf("server: got connection from %s, port %d, socket %d\n",inet_ntoa(clients_addr.sin_addr),ntohs(clients_addr.sin_port),new_fd); return 0;}
Then run the server program and the client program:
parameters are local ip and port.
parameters are domain name and port mapped by phddns
It works.
Test with my friend‘s help,also no problem:
