Re: problem running a UDP client and server
Hi,
Thanks a lot for your help, but my flag option is a default 0. This is
the same option that I am using with a normal UDP client and normal UDP
server which are working fine. Should I change this. I am attaching the
piece of code of the client:
in_addr_t gethostaddr(name)
char *name;
{
in_addr_t addr;
register struct hostent *hp;
if ((addr = (in_addr_t)inet_addr (name)) != -1)
return (addr);
hp = (struct hostent*) gethostbyname(name);
if (hp != 0)
return (*(in_addr_t *)hp->h_addr);
else
return (0);
}

Sorry for sending such a long code, but a part of it won't make a sense, I
guess.
Thanks in advance.
