[erlang-questions] [Windows] I can't create named node

Thu Feb 17 09:47:12 CET 2011

Hi,

Thanks for replying. My apology for what I said before. I need a hotfix about my temperament.

Following is the result after applying command sequence which you proposed:

Eshell V5.8.2  (abort with ^G)
1> {ok,Socket} = inet_tcp:listen(0,[{active, false}, {packet,2}, {reuseaddr, true}]).
{ok,#Port<0.577>}
2> {ok, Address} = inet:sockname(Socket).
** exception error: no match of right hand side value {error,ewouldblock}
3> {ok, Host} = inet:gethostname().
{ok,"Samuellee"}
4> 

another test:

Eshell V5.8.2  (abort with ^G)
1> {ok,Socket} = inet_tcp:listen(0,[{active, false}, {packet,2}, {reuseaddr, true}]).
{ok,#Port<0.644>}
2> 
2> {ok, Address} = inet:sockname(Socket).
** exception error: no match of right hand side value {error,ewouldblock}
3> 
3> {ok, Address} = inet:sockname(Socket).
** exception error: no match of right hand side value {error,einval}
4> 
4> {ok, Host} = inet:gethostname().
{ok,"Samuellee"}
5> 

Regards,
Samuel
