Re: SOCKET Connect() connects but shouldn't.

First, byte-ordering. The bytes for network values must be in network
byte order. This happens to be big-endian but PCs and other toys use
little-endian thus your port number is probably being misinterpreted.
That'd make sense if he's running the code on a little-endian system like a PC. Is that the case? If so, I completely missed that point...
A similar misinterpretation will occur with the IP address so you may be attempting to connect to a completely different server which does happen to have a listener on port 23585. 

That's only true if he's hard-coding the binary form of the IP address.
The inet_addr() and gethostbyname() functions always return the IP addresses in network byte order, so you'll just confuse things by flipping it again.
