多客户端通过相同的IP连接到服务器

Question

I have this scenario in mind, can I connect group of clients that have the same IP -Located on the same computer- to server which recognize them by their username and password and not by their IPs .. I want to know if this possible.

I'm using this template of TCP/IP application.

Answer 1

You can start (almost) any number of clients on one machine that connect to the same server. The only restriction is the number of ports you have available. A client socket is identified by an ipaddress:port pair, so if you start each client on a different port, it will work.
