fsockopen with unusual port

Hi: I'm trying to use fsockopen() with an unusual port number. It comes back as Error Number 61, "Connection refused." If I change the port to something normal, like 80 or 23, it works fine. What's up? Here's my code: $Sock = fsockopen('localhost', 7777, $ErrNo, $ErrStr, 5); if ($Sock) { while ( !feof($Sock) ) { } fclose($Sock); } else { echo "Listener couldn't open socket. Err #$ErrNo: $ErrStr.\n"; exit(); } Thanks, --Dan -- PHP classes that make web design easier SQL Solution | Layout Solution | Form Solution sqlsolution.info | layoutsolution.info | formsolution.info T H E A N A L Y S I S A N D S O L U T I O N S C O M P A N Y 4015 7 Av #4AJ, Brooklyn NY v: 718-854-0335 f: 718-854-0409
