无法通过插槽将同一局域网中的两台计算机连接起来

Question

I have a server-client that work wonderfull when im trying to use them on my own machine. But - when im trying to use them on two different machines on the same Lan, it didnt work! Here is my connection:

Lan = socket.socket(socket.AF_INET, socket.SOCK_STREAM)  # Creates the socket object
Lan.connect(('localhost', port))

I dont understand why should it be a problem

Answer 1

When you are binding your socket, it gets bound to certain network interfaces, one of which is the loopback interface which is only available from your local computer. You're likely not binding to your actual network interface controller (NIC)

You want INADDR_ANY when you bind, though you didn't say what programming language, so I don't know specifically how to tell you to do it.
