Hi,

I have a small clarification, when writing socket programs, do we need to
have the Etherent interface present on the system. That is i am trying to
simulate the client and the server on the same machine. that is the connect
call from the client will give the loopback address 127.0.0.1.

I have used AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM. I tried to connect to the day time server
waiting on port 13.

When i listed with netstat it was not showing any active TCP connections, so
i presumed that it needs to have an interface. Is it right?


Best Wishes
Ramanujan
