Hi,

i have written a Client-Server application.
For new client i am creating client_sockfd

client_sockfd = accept(server_sockfd,(struct sockaddr *)&client_address,&client_len);
FD_SET(client_sockfd,&readfd);

after receiving data from client i am disconnecting the client
FD_CLR(client_sockfd,&readfd);

after disconnecting if the same client is connecting to server it is getting new client_sockfd...How to reuse the same same client_sockfd for the same client again?

for every connection and disconnection client_sockfd changing,after 1024 iterations the server is closing.

cheers

Did you mean to mark this "[SOLVED]"?

If so, kindly post the solution -- even though this is an old post, it still might help someone else w/ the same, or a similar, problem.

With out using close(sockfd) file descriptor will not be free, To use the same file descriptor use close(sockfd)

Thanks for responding w/ the solution. That's the LQ spirit.
