I really appreciate the feedback from Stef, Mariano and Ron! As a newbie, that is a good "reality check" for me.

Re: [Pharo-users] Newbie: Does Socket ping: 'addr' work in Pharo3.11.8 ?

by Mariano Martinez Peck

Hi guys. No, it doesn't work for me neither. I have checked in Pharo 1.0 and 1.1 with both: useOldNetwork as true and false. I have debugged a little the: Socket ping: 'localhost' And the problem I found is that after calling "connectNonBlockingTo: hostAddress port: port" self primSocketConnectionStatus: socketHandle. should answer something different thanUnconnected ( 0 ), like WaitingForConnection (1) or Connected (2) check Socket class >> initialize So....I should see in VM side why primSocketConnectionStatus: socketHandle. may be returning 0 (unconnected). Now...if I ping Socket ping: 'www.google.com' The result is different as I get WaitingForConnection (1) instead of 0....but it loops forever as I always get 1 and never 2....see the loop [(status = WaitingForConnection) and: [(msecsEllapsed := Time millisecondsSince: startTime) < msecsDelta]] whileTrue: [ semaphore waitTimeoutMSecs: msecsDelta - msecsEllapsed. status := self primSocketConnectionStatus: socketHandle]. in the method waitForConnectionFor: timeout ifTimedOut: timeoutBlock I will continue to check, but my knowledge in this area is almost nil.

yes I get the same behavior in 1.1, 1.0 and in latest squeak trunk. I tried to ping www.google.com or its ip. Network code is probably the same since Squeak3.9. in 1.0 mike rueger started to fix it. Then we had to rollback parts of the change because of IVP6 problems In 1.1 we have the version mike did and we should improve it. We are waited from feedback to see if we will do the same rollback as in 1.0. Stef On May 16, 2010, at 8:17 PM, Ron Jeffries wrote: > Hello, RickT.

Hi Stefan, Mariano asked me to try using that method to set UseOldNetwork. I only was testing the class method Socket>>ping: from the workspace, and it always timed out. It also did not work in the Pharo1.1 image that Mariano asked me to try.

Hi Ron, Yes, you are having the same experience. Mariano asked me to try the UseOldNetwork in Pharo1.0, but as you say, it does not exist. It does in 1.1 image which is not yet released (I think). I think we are stuck with a non-working ping.

I am seeing a failure similar to the one that you are when pinging localhost or my own web site from Pharao, or the example in the Socket class>>ping: method.
