Question

I am trying to check whether a server is online or offline: I face the problem that it has a port when connecting to it

My code at the moment:

struct sockaddr_in address;
address.sin_len = sizeof(address);
address.sin_family = AF_INET;
address.sin_port = htons(25667);
address.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("fr7.mooshroom.net");

Reachability *reachability = [Reachability reachabilityWithAddress:&address];

Please let me know what im doing wrong. And please dont link me to other questions, I have searched and none of them have what I’m looking for.

Answer 1

I have fixed it now, i needed to put the line:
const char *serverIPChar = [serverIP cStringUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
and replace the “fr7.mooshroom.net” inside the inet_addr to serverIPChar. Thanks anyway
