Dear all,

This is my first time sending to the mailing list. I hope I am doing the
right thing

I am having problem writing a little program using cygwin. It is about a
client sending message to a server.
I run into the exact same problem described in:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/cygwin/2001-05/msg01085.html

I read the follow up to this post but it doesnt seem to answer the
question (if it does for others, there is something I dont understand. So
please pardon me).

My call to accept always fails, regardless of whether I use localhost or
the actual IP address. I have also tried a few different ports to no
avail.

By the way, if both the client and server are on Solaris, then both work.
If one of them is on Cygwin and the other is on Solaris, then the message
sending doesnt work out.
The Solaris client cannot send to the Cygwin server (connection refused).
The Cygwin client cannot send to the Solaris sever (connection refused).

I am working on the same machine which runs Win2K server. My version of
Cygwin is pretty new (havent figured out how to check the version yet) coz
I just d/l it 2 weeks ago.

Can anyone please shed some light on what goes wrong here.

My codes are the below, followed by the output.
Thanks very much in advance!!!
