I think the problem is with the "len" argument to gethostbyaddr. You have
given it as 4, *why*? If you do a man gethostbyaddr, it clearly says that
the len is supposed to be the length of the const char *addr (the first
argument, which is a asciiz string).

So just fix that, it should solve your problem...
