I'm trying to utilize the UDP (datagram) service, but when I run my programs, I get a "Bad Address" error. I've tried several examples from tutorials, but I get the same error. I'm working with SunOS 4.0.1 and some of the examples were written for Ultrix. I was told there might be slight differences in the TCP/IP structures used by BSD implementations. I'vewritten programs usinSOCK_STREAM which have worked fine, which adds to my confusion. Oh, and the error only occurs when I attempt a recvfrom(), it appears to work when I use sendto(). Can anyone help me out here? dhirmes@hamp.hampshire.edu
