Hi all, I am using kernel 2.2.14-5.0smp. I keep getting " Connection refused" on repeated 'sendto' calls. Am I correct in saying that the only reason for this error is 'non-availability of ports'. I have tested for data being sent to non-listening ports, but cannot reproduce the error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. sincerely, Ciju - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
