Umm...shouldn't that be 4000? Servers are generally created on a fixed port.

If you start it at port 0, it will take a long time to determine a free port. Remember what I told you earlier, only root processes are allowed to bind to the first 1024 ports. That prolly explains why it takes so long for it to determine a free port.

I dont think you need to do it in Java but you never mentioned which language you were using. So I assumed C. Anyway, try googling the next time. This is the right way to build a client / server: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/networking/sockets/clientServer.html -- Dinesh A. Joshi -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
