Re: Multiple socket clients

I did (above) under an old name stuck in my news reader. Like I said
the server has been working for years accepting connections from
multiple hosts and processing the transactions.

I think there is some relevance in that with the loopback address,
multiple local connections are fine but with the specific IP (on the
same machine) I can only keep the last connection going.

If I connect to the server locally, that is, my client running on the
same box, it's fine and I can run multiple instances .. as long as
I'm using the loopback address (127.0.0.1). If I utilize the real IP
address, the 2nd connect works, but breaks the first connection with
a -1 ECONNRESET (or whatever, not handy right now). Doesn't matter
if I'm on the same host or not when I specify the server's IP. Only
the last session persist.

I'm able to connect from multiple hosts but the previous connection
is always reset once the second connection is made.

Am I missing something fundamental here?
Sounds like you somehow close the prior session when a new one
is established.
It's hard to give any more advice with the information provided.
Show e.g. some relevant code.
