PRB: Connect() Fails, WSAGetLastError() returns WSAENETUNREACH (140014)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Win32 Software Development Kit (SDK) 3.51
This article was previously published under Q140014 SYMPTOMS
A Win32 Winsock client issues a connect() call over SPX or SPXII protocols
and the call fails with SOCKET_ERROR with WSAGetLastError() returning error
WSAENETUNREACH(10051).
CAUSE
Either the IPX network number specified in the SOCKADDR_IPX address
structure for the server is incorrect (network unreachable), or the server
is not listening on the specified socket number.
STATUS
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
If a Win32 Winsock clients issues a connect() call over TCP/IP protocol
for a server and the server is not listening on the specified port,
connect() returns SOCKET_ERROR and WSAGetLastError() returns error
WSAECONNREFUSED(10061). However, the IPX/SPX implementation of
Windows sockets on the Windows NT platform returns error WSAENETUNREACH for
the same scenario.
