Multiple WiFi connections on a port?
« on: December 23, 2013, 07:40:36 pm »
Is it possible to have multiple connections on a port at a given time and know which connection sent data?  For example, if I wanted a "chat" program that would allow multiple connections to talk to each other.  Is there an example of how I can do that?  I haven't been able to successfully connect a second time to a port until the first connection has ended.

Thanks

I believe I read in the wifi pdf that this can only handle one client at a time.

Might want to check that out.

 I have found that I can connect 2 or 3 clients to a simple webserver, but suspect that the browsers close the connection after each GET. If I try to hit the server from 2 devices too close to the same time, one will throw a "can't connect" error. Refrreshing then works fine.
