Dhiraj,
I wonder how you are able to instantiate SocketAddress, isn't it abstract?
Assuming you used InetSocketAddress, here is what I get
java.net.UnknownHostException: xxx.yyy.zzz.www
java.net.UnknownHostException: xxx.yyy.zzz.www
at
java.net.AbstractPlainSocketImpl.connect(AbstractPlainSocketImpl.java:158)
at java.net.SocksSocketImpl.connect(SocksSocketImpl.java:381)
at java.net.Socket.connect(Socket.java:537)
at Test.main(Test.java:10)
and line 10 is
s.connect(new InetSocketAddress("xxx.yyy.zzz.www",6000),10000);
