HI All,

This is about the Basics of INADDR_ANY. When we bind to the server by placing the value of sin_addr.s_addr as INADDR_ANY, Does it binds to all the IP addresses( If that system is multi homed one)
with the specified port?.

i.e if the system is having IP1 , IP2 and IP3 addresses and when we bind as specified above, does the further Listen call listnes to all the IP Adressees IP1 , IP2 and IP3 with the specified port.

Thankx in Adavance
