I have a client /server file operation program.It works properly when i run the client and server program in the same system.but when i try to run the client in one system and server in another system i am getting an error in the cleint machine as "ERROR:Connection refused". Plz help me in this

Hi,

I try to write a small socket program in my Linux machine.
I go on the Beej's guide but I cant compile the sample because, i have not the function:
get_in_addr(..........) in my Linux.
What's the problem you think?
