java.net.SocketException : Socks server cannot conect to identd

Posted by David De Schepper on August 29, 2000 at 9:36 AM

Hi ,

I have the same problem in my application. I want to connect to a machine while i'm behind a firewall

I have a normal Socket that wants to connect to a ServerSocket running on a different machine.

My socket is constructed with System.getProperties().put("socksProxyHost", user.socksProxy) ;
System.getProperties().put("socksProxyPort", user.socksProxyPort) ;

When i try to connect to the serverSocket I get this Exception

be.jcs.juice.client.comms.FileReceiverException: Exception occurred during Socket allocating

at be.jcs.juice.client.comms.DefaultFileReceiver.open(DefaultFileReceiver.java:76)

at be.jcs.juice.client.comms.TransferThread.run(TransferThread.java:62)

java.net.SocketException: SOCKS server cannot conect to identd

at be.jcs.juice.client.comms.DefaultFileReceiver.open(DefaultFileReceiver.java:73)

at be.jcs.juice.client.comms.TransferThread.run(TransferThread.java:62)

What does it mean and furthermore how can i solve it.

I'm doing some research for my company and i'm stuck.

Thanks in advance,
