try a huge port address value, something like 13000 or 16000. Do inform us if that solves your problem.

Oh, thats the first time I came across "socket programming"!
Is it like this? Socket Programming HOWTO

Anyhow, if you are directly connecting between two computers using network cards, you must use a crossover cable. Its a modified cat5e cable allowing for peer-to-peer network connections. Useful stuff for 1 on 1 LAN gaming if you don't want to use wireless

Of course, if you are using a hub, then just ignore whatever I said above

[just2rock]

for Power over Ethernet and long Haul communication,Cat6 cable will be best

telenet to the socket and check from local host

e.g. for socket 6060
telnet 10.10.10.10:6060

if it holds the connection on the server / destination socket then there could be possibility of issue with client / destination.
