    Unhappy Port Scanning ERROR

    Hey guys I'm making a port scanner for a project of mine. Made the required form nd stuff. But while doing the "meat" of the coding, the output isnt certainly what I wanted.

    While scanning for ports, my program shows the result as "Port x is open". It does so for all ports. Its like its not even scanning for open/closed ports. The code which I'm using WORKS when I compile it as a command-line program, but not so when running it as a form through Netbeans. Can anyone help me with this?

    Hello dbz_sid, welcome to the Java Programming Forums.

    Please don't post duplicate threads. I have deleted your other thread.

    Please also post your code within the highlight tags (see my signature)
    It makes things easier and people are more likely to reply.

    I have compiled this myself and scanned an IP address. It tells me that none of the ports are open. So I get a different result to what you are experiencing..

    Default Re: Port Scanning ERROR

    Oops. Sorry I made a mistake while sending you the attachments, I didnt save the file to its most recent version. Anyways, the changes I made to the code were in the ActionPerformed code of SCAN button
    Here's the corresponding code...

    private void button1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                        
 	host = textField1.getText();
 
       portStart = ((Integer)jSpinner1.getValue());
       portStop = ((Integer)jSpinner2.getValue());
       try{
           InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName(textField1.getText());
textArea1.setText("The IP Address of the node is " +addr.getHostAddress() );
       for(i=portStart;i<=portStop;i++)
       {
 
           Socket s = null;
        try{
            s = new Socket(addr,i);

            //catch (UnknownHostException ex) {
            //textArea1.append("Host not reachable");
        }}catch (IOException ex) {
               textArea1.append("Port " + i + " is not in use " );}
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
        // TODO add your handling code here:

    s = new Socket(addr,i);

    if(s!=null)
    How often - to the nearest integer per year - do Java constructors return null?

    Why are you assuming that if the Socket(InetAddress, int) constructor returns an object it means the port is open? Does the API documentation say that? What other methods in the Socket class might help you test to see whether the port is open?
