QtNetwork: Why don't I detect incomming connections ? (incomingConnection() is never

[QtExchange]

Please pardon my late reply for I have not been at the desk during the holidays.

Hmm, maybe the client is connecting to something else?

It's a wireless network where there is only 1 host & 1 client. The client is not able to connect if the host hasn't reached the line listen()

My advice? Learn to walk before you try to run.

That's why I stick to the tutorial made directly by Qt, how does one learn the very lowest instance of a teaching unit if even this ain't running.

In your original post, you show a run() method for your thread that does not contain a message loop and will exit almost immediately after your thread is started. The default QThread::run() runs a message loop. If you write your thread to persist and continue to run, you should execute the base class QThread::run() in your subclassed run() method or just simply call exec() in your run() method.

Without this, your thread will start and end almost instantaneously, which I'm sure is not what you intended.

This might be true. However I don't even get to the point where this thread is created - which is my actual problem mentioned in the top post. As stated incomingConnection(), where this thread first is created, is never fired.
