--- Begin Message ---Package: libc6-dev Version: 2.11.2-10 Severity: normal Cannot use INADDR_LOOPBACK in a bind call. A code example follows: server_addr.sin_family = AF_INET; server_addr.sin_port = htons(tcp_server_port); server_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_LOOPBACK; ... followed by a bind() call fails. whereas: server_addr.sin_family = AF_INET; server_addr.sin_port = htons(tcp_server_port); server_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1"); ... works. I printout the two values like below: printf("server_addr.sin_addr.s_add: %ld INADDR_LOOPBACK: %ld\n", server_addr.sin_addr.s_addr, INADDR_LOOPBACK); ...and I get: server_addr.sin_addr.s_add: 16777343 INADDR_LOOPBACK: 2130706433 ...which is odd, I guess the two values should be the same. My includes look like this: #include <stdio.h> #include <sys/types.h> #include <sys/socket.h> #include <errno.h> #include <unistd.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include <string.h> #include <netinet/in.h> ...and netinet/in.h is the one include to have INADDR_LOOPBACK defined.

Please try with: server_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_LOOPBACK); -- Aurelien Jarno GPG: 1024D/F1BCDB73 [email protected] http://www.aurel32.net
