[zeromq-dev] Asymmetrical PUB-SUB problem

[Mark Sutheran]

Ok, apols - looks like it's my bad!

Rebuilt all the libs on the client box (A) to the latest and greatest and the problem went away. So I guess this was a backwards-only compatibility issue between different versions (fits the pattern)

Cheers,
Mark

Thanks for the suggestion Joshua. Unfortunately this doesn't fix the problem.

(I restricted the publisher to the one interface in order to avoid any possible confusion due to potential routing through some other interface)

However to add to the information - the SUB on box B can successfully connect to and receive data from any valid interface (wlan0, localhost, eth0) when the PUB binds to *.

Cheers,

Mark

Try binding to * on box b 
when publishing.

however, connecting a SUB on B to the interface's ip works fine. If I reverse the boxes I see the 
behaviour I expect - i.e. the SUBs on both boxes see the messages. As a 
contrast: if I run a REQ on A and REP on B, everything works as expected and the message sent from B is received at A.
