I am having Server Programs (for TCP,UDP,Unix Sockets) , that listen on a port number say , 9888 at 10.10.1.4 and they are being contacted by a Client (for TCP,UDP,Unix Sockets) Linux machine from 10.10.1.1 .
Both macines are on the LAN , nothing more nothing less . We have not yet gone for any higher stuff like DNS , etc . So , basically 10.10.1.4 and 10.10.1.1 are not on any Linux network , but simply they identify and respond on the LAN. My Clients and Server (socket programs) do not communicate at all on this network . Please guide me on what I should do . My line of thinking is : Add some entry to the /etc/services specifying the port , but this is what I tried and failed :- # At the bottom of /etc/services :- tcp 9888/tcp a.out 9889/tcp Please help me get these programs to communicate .
