------- Additional Comments From jon@campbellsci.com 2003-03-06 16:41 ------- I have the firewall on my machine disabled. I did follow up on your suggestion and found that the reason why the connection doesn't work is because the socket is bound to the IN_ADDRNONE (0xFFFFFFFF) address. The reason for this is because the server code passes a single space string, " ", to inet_addr() by default. The microsoft documentation states that " " is supposed to result in returning IN_ADDRANY (0). Apparently the behaviour documented by Microsoft is not standard or the linux implementation fails to implement it.
