Small application, IP4-only, and I'm stuck with something that ought to
be trivial :-(
Hmm, I'm thumping my head against a brick wall here with what should be
a simple problem. I can allocate a socket and bind it to a chosen port
(5999) with nary a hitch, if I wish to accept connections from
INADDR_ANY.
However, when I specify a particular interface to listen to (namely,
127.0.0.1) the call to bind() is failing with an EADDRNOTAVAIL.
This code runs fine on Solaris (modulo the sin_len being missing on
that platform), and I can't see what could be the problem:
Brief code snippet included; just to show what's going wrong, not as a
demonstration of good style :-)
I'd appreciate a direct CC: on any responses; thanks in advance.
