It seems that my program can't correctly bind a socket. The code is like following: if ((fd = socket(AF_INET, udp?SOCK_DGRAM:SOCK_STREAM, 0)) < 0) err("socket"); if (bind(fd, &sinme, sizeof(sinme)) < 0) err("bind"); The socket() call is successful but the bind() fails, and the error number it returned is 106, which, from "errno.h", is EAFNOSUPPORT. and, TCP/IP stuff seems are working well (at least I can use Netscape and ftp...) and the program actually works on Solaris. (The port number assigned is 5001) Can somebody tell me: what does the error mean? and what is the problem behind it? (something wrong with my NT system?) Thanks a lot.
