connect Error: “No route to host”

Simply put, a ” No route to host”” would mean that there is no route for the server IP address in the client’s routing table. Are you able to ping the server’s IP address? Most likely you should not be able to and ping should say that the server is not reachable. If so, then this error has nothing to do with your program, you are probably running into a connectivity issue.

Can you find the entry for your server in the output of “route -n”. If there is none, then you should check for a bigger prefix for the subnet of the server. If that also is not present, then you should confirm that you have a default route setup.

To further confirm, I would do the following two tests. First, what happens if you try to run the client/server on the same box? Second, what happens if you try to run the client/server on two boxes (present in the same subnet) and on the same LAN? If you do not see this issue and your application works just fine, then this should confirm that you are running into a connectivity issue.
