Without seeing the program, it's hard to tell. I suspect that you have a big-endian/little-endian problem. Try getting the addr with gethostbyname or convert the ip-addr directly with inet_addr.

Network unreachable I have a simple socket program. I've compiled it with gcc on Debian 1.1 (kernel 2.0.29) and Red Had (Biltmore 2.0.30) and I keep getting Network is unreachable. Running gdb reveals the connect call is not working. After stepping over the connect, errno = 101. "Network is unreachable" is displayed by perror and the program exits. This is a small program that runs fine under SunOS 4.1.3. The only thing I had to do to the program was change the include paths from sys/ to linux/. My Linux box IP 140.117.43.69 Netmask 255.255.224.0 Network 140.117.32.0 Broadcast 140.117.63.225 Can anyone give me a clue as to what the problem might be. I don't know what to look for at the moment. The only thing I can think of is the above IPs are not correct. I can ping and telnet to the target which has the server this socket program is to connect to. I look in the arp table and it has a complete entry. Would arp be able to figure out everything if the above IPs we not right? Thanks in advance for any advice.
