1. Code snip
/*Server code*/
int listeningport=0;
System.out.println("Attempting to create a server
socket at port: "+listeningport);
serversockvar = new ServerSocket(listeningport);
//Create a server on any freely available port
//(read the api docs and modified this)
System.out.println("Server Socket created");
I believe, there is nothing wrong with the code, it
creates a server at a free port now, but takes too
long around 9-10 mintues
2. The error displayed (now)
When I start the client, it tries to establish a
connection, but fails indicating, "Connection timed
out"

What am I supposed to do for this, exactly?
Everything is running on localhost!

Thanks to Apoorva Madam. The server is does start
now, (with some modification, mentioned above), but
the client does not connect
