Hello Roshan You can check whether the server is created and using the port 4000 by keying netcat -anlp | grep 4000 It should return an entry for your server process. Another thing that would help is to check the return value of the socket(), bind(), connect() calls. Hope it helps. -- Apoorva Kulkarni

Well you can start by: 1. Posting your code 2. Telling us what error it is flagging

FYI remember, you cant create a socket to listen on any of the first 1024 ports. Only root has the rights to do that. Though this isnt the problem in your case.
