Connection Refused message from example AF_INET socket code.


Cygwin;
Could someone please help understand why I'm getting "connection refused"
from the following code.  I have searched the cygwin email archives and read
the users guide and have not found an answer.  I'm new to Cygwin, but have
many years of Unix experience and little NT experience. The "connection
refused" error occurs regardless effective user id or whether I use
"localhost" or the actual hostname.  I'm using the latest version of cygwin
1.3.1 and Win2K.

All assistance will be greatly appreciated.
