SCO

np about the edit - i should have caught the tag types and done it myself during the post.

Yes. It was a fairly good outcome. Now if that where the only problem I have with the software. Seems SCO Openserver misbehaves a lot concerning sockets.

new problem - perhaps somehow related to the last. I move the project off the computer that I had to relink the kernel to get things working after I encountered the following error and I got he same results.

That Java program opens a server port at 5510 and waits for a connection from a client connection established by another programrunning on the same machine. Under Linux this works fine but under SCO Unix this fails with an ibsocket: socket: /dev/socksys: Too many open files reported by the OS. the server app remains running on the assigned port. If I make a connection from another computer it works.

I have killed off any process I did not required to run the OS and closed all applications except me two test apps and the results are the same.

Is it possible that SCO Openserver does not allow a server and client using the same port to be opened on the same machine?
