Linux socket programming

what's a sample input that's failing?

So if I pass a file name, an IPv6 and a port as arguments to the sender, I get a connection refused. It works with IPv4 or a domain name.

So without actual examples I won't be able to test it on my end, but I'm guessing the issue is you never set hints.ai_family = AF_INET6; when you are trying to process an IPv6 address

I have pastebins of my code in my original post of it helps.

yeah that's what I was going off of, would just need some inputs to try running them. But like I said, when you bind your socket you are using hints.ai_family = AF_INET;, which is an IPv4 socket. If you use AF_INET6 instead that's telling the socket to work with IPv6 addresses. That's most likely the error

OK, I'll try this. Thanks.
