And you're sure that somebody tries to initiate a connection after your program has gotten to the accept() line? > When I set the port I use netstat (netstat -bn) to get the > ports that are in use. What do you mean by a port being "in use"? Is there another program already waiting for a connection on the port? You keep repeating the bit about "ports in use", but that phrase is too vague. Do you mean there is already an established connection that uses that port? If that's what you mean, it doesn't matter one way or another. What matters is whether there's another program already bound to that port and listening for new connections. As I've already said: if you're trying to get data from already established connections, you can't do it using accept. You have to use the pcap library. You're going to have to accurately describe what you're trying to do, or none of us are going to be able to help you. -- Grant Edwards grante Yow! HERE!! Put THIS at on!!
