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

It is not running on a PC. Scott's program is running on an iSeries. It's 
connecting (or in this case, not actually connecting, just not sending back an 
error) to a socket server on a PC.

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...

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.
