If the socket is UDP then it means the client (the one opening the connection) will only accept data from that remote host on that specific port. > -- > PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-dev-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > For additional commands, e-mail: php-dev-help@lists.php.net > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net -- ev ---------------------------- Evan Klinger evan@php.net AIM evan715
