Dear Elfyn, Thanks for your prompt response:
> Cockpit error. You left out a few headers. > - string.h is needed for memset() > - unistd.h is needed for alarm() > - arpa/inet.h is needed for inet_addr() > > After that it works fine. The addition of these include files does make gcc -Wall happier, but it not change the behavior of the program at run-time. Under Cygwin on my XP box, it still waits many seconds for the connect() to timeout and then returns with a "Connection timed out" error, instead of returning after the 2 second alarm with the desired "Interrupted system call" error.
