Greetings,

This one if for the C guru's out there.

I am trying to port the Socks5 utilities to MPE/ix but I am having some
problems with MPE.  I have managed to compile the library and some of
the client utilities but I keep getting the following message as soon as
I try to use them.

        ftp: bind: Can't assign requested address

Bind returns 227 as the error code.

Any and all help greatly appreciated.

If you have this far, the following information may be of help.

        data_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
        data_addr.sin_addr.s_addr = <HEX REPRESENTATION OF THE LOCAL INTERFACE>
        data_addr.sin_port = 0;  /* let mpe assign one */


      if (bind(data, (struct sockaddr *)&data_addr, sizeof(data_addr)) <
0)
        {
                perror("ftp: bind");
                goto bad;
        }

I have played around with some capabilities but have had no luck.  Any
suggestions as to what capabilities are required.

Once again thanks for the help
