I know a bit of programming, but i'm new to this network thing, i need your help :(

I followed the code snippet (Connection - Server.cpp and Connection - Client.cpp)

but i can't completely understand it... i tryed to make the client connect to itself (which would allow me to make a multiplayer basic FPS more easily).

here's the code:

PHP Code:

/******************************************************************************/
#include "stdafx.h"
#include "$$headers.h"
/******************************************************************************/
ConnectionServer mServer;
Connection mSelf;
Str text;
Str data;
/******************************************************************************/
void InitPre(){
   App.name("Client");
   App.flag = APP_WORK_IN_BACKGROUND;
   DataPath("C:/EsenthelEngineSDK/Data");
   Paks.add("engine.pak");
   D.mode(640, 480);   
   D.full(false);
}
/******************************************************************************/
Bool Init()
{
   if(!mServer.create(55874))
      Exit("Couldn\'t create the server.");
      
   mServer.clients.replaceClass<Client>();
   
   SockAddr server; server.setLocal(55874);
   
   if(mSelf.clientConnectToServer(server))
   {
   }
   else {
      return false;
   }
   return true;   
}
/******************************************************************************/
void Shut()
{
   mServer.del();
   mSelf.del();
}
/******************************************************************************/
Bool Update()
{
   mServer.update();
   /*if (mSelf.state() == CONNECT_VERSION_CONFLICT) text += " | Version Trouble";
   else if (mSelf.state() == CONNECT_INVALID) text += " | Invalid";
   else if (mSelf.state() == CONNECT_AWAIT_GREET) text += " | Connecting...";
   else if (mSelf.state() == CONNECT_GREETED) text += " | Success!"; */
   if(Kb.bp(KB_ESC))
      return false;
   return true;
   
   if (mSelf.receive(0))
   {
      mSelf.data.getStr(data);
   }
}
/******************************************************************************/
void Draw()
{
    if(mSelf.state()!=CONNECT_GREETED)
      text += " | Invalid connection";
      
   D.clear(BLACK);
   D.text(0, 0.8, text);
   
   text = "";   
} 

the connection always return CONNECT_AWAIT_GREET. please... i don't understand what i'm doin' wrong...

return true;

if (mSelf.receive(0))
{
mSelf.data.getStr(data);
}

due to your return you're not processing 'receive' which is needed for greeting
