Hello Gaetano,

  I would say that is the problem. I do not know if that is the source of the 
problem, but what if you want that a server be connected from any client you 
_need_ to use "INADDR_ANY" as the argument for htonl() and this true for UDP 
and TCP sockets (as this case). 

  I suppose Jasem will correct this bug in the CVS. Have you tried to change 
it to INADDR_ANY, recompile and test it?.

regards

Pablo.
