Strange problem... need help

This is the source of a very simple UDP-server. It works great - except for the first recvfrom()-call, which somehow doesn't give the correct address. This means; the first " cout << inet_ntoa(sender.sin_addr) << endl; " prints "0.0.0.0" on the screen. What causes this? What can I do to fix it?

you don''t use SO_REUSEADDR or listen with UDP.

len has to equal the size of a sockaddr_in structure before you pass it to recvfrom. It will have to be a different size if you start using ip6.

You should get a copy of Unix Network Programming. It helps a lot. I made the mistake of not setting len to the right size recently myself. I figured out the problem by looking at the examples again.
