Message:

ServerSocket class gives exception- option unsupported by protocol

Posted by Shailesh Nagare on February 20, 2001 at 9:02 AM

Hi

I am trying client/server programmes on my machine at
home which is not on net. The socket programmes i test
at my office does not work at home.

Following code generates error-

ServerSocket mysoc = new ServerSocket(PORT) ;

compile time error is -

java.net.SocketException: option unsupported by protocol:create
at java.net.PlainSocketImpl.Socket cerate(Native Method)
etc.etc.

Same code works on other machine.

What's real problem ? Any protocol installation on machine is
required ?
