Connecting to a Service Listening on a Port over TCP/IP

[Bob Garbados]

I have a .net website and I need to connect to a service listening on a
specific port from that website. The service and website are on the same
windows 03 server. I don't know where to start on this, can someone point
me in the right direction.

Thanks.

well, you need to know the protocol required to talk to this service. is
tcp/ip or udp? is a self defined stream protocol or is an http protocol.
connect to it with telnet, and see what you can learn. use net monitor to
dump the packets.

Thanks. It's tcp/ip and I don't know if it's self defined or http. I only
know that I have to send xml to a specific port. I can't connect with
telnet to the port, does that mean it has to be opened up? Pinging the port
times out.

Bruce,

I can connect to it with telnet but I can't learn anything... once the
connection opens I just see a blinking cursor, if I press a key the
connection is lost.

Try the telnet like this telnet 123.123.123.123 XXXX where XXXX is the port
number where you want to connect. If the port is open you will get the
cursor and if you type something it should give you an answer.

Regards,

Renán

That's exactly what I did, but the connection gets lost when I type anything
at the cursor.

Thanks.
