Server Socket Problem

[Ali Hassaan]

Hi All
Please tell me y the following not connecting client to server,server name is hassan,its working fine on 127.0.0.1
but not at servers IP or name.
InetAddress address=InetAddress.getByName("hassan");
socket=new Socket(address.getHostAddress (),4444);

The name should be something like "www.hassan.com", not just "hassan". You could also use the IP address.

Could it be that you have a space after address.getHostAddress and the "()"?
Here is what I've done before with DataGramSockets...

InetAddress address = InetAddress.getByName(hostname);
DatagramSocket ds = new DatagramSocket();
DatagramPacket dp = new DatagramPacket(data, data.length,
address, PORT);

I dont' think you need to have the "address.getHostAddress" either because you've already got the address from InetAdress.
Also, is there anything running to accept connections on port 4444?
