socket programming cannot connect


Hi everyone, I am writing client C socket program in Linux and server C# socket program in window. I am also running these 2 programs in different PCs. When I run client program it shows that "Cannot connect".
my client C program in Linux is
Code:
#include <sys/socket.h>  //for socket(), connect(), sendto() and recvform()
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netdb.h>
#include <stdio.h>  // for printf() and fprintf()
#include <string.h>  //for memset()
#include <stdlib.h>   //for atoi() and exit()
#include <unistd.h>  //for close()
#include <errno.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>  //for sockaddr_in and inet_addr()
 

#define SERVERPORT 1234	

int main ( )                      
{
	int sockfd, n;
	struct sockaddr_in serv_addr;
	struct hostent *serverINFO;
	
	char buffer[256];
	char hostname[1024];
	//struct hostent* h;
	gethostname(hostname, sizeof(hostname));
	serverINFO = gethostbyname(hostname);
	
	if(serverINFO == NULL)
	{
		printf("Problem interpreting host\n");
		return 1;  
	}
	sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);
	
	if (sockfd < 0)
		{
			printf("Cannot create socket\n");
			return 1;
		}
	inet_pton(AF_INET, "192.168.0.1",&(serv_addr.sin_addr));
	//serv_addr.sin_family = serverINFO ->h_addrtype;
	//memcpy((char *) &serv_addr.sin_addr, serverINFO->h_addr_list[0], serverINFO->h_length);
	//serv_addr.sinport = htons(SERVERPORT);
	//bzero((char *) &serv_addr, sizeof(serv_addr));
	//serv_addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
	//memcpy(&serv_addr.sin_addr, server->h_addr, server->h_length);
	//bcopy((char *)server->h_addr,(char *)&serv_addr.sin_addr.s_addr,server->h_length);
	serv_addr.sin_port = htons (SERVERPORT);
	
	if(connect(sockfd, (struct sockaddr *)&serv_addr, sizeof (serv_addr)) < 0) 
		{
			printf("Cannot connect\n");
			return 1;
		}
	else
		printf("Connected\n");
	/*printf("Please enter the message: ");
	bzero(buffer, 256);
	fgets(buffer,255,stdin);
	n = write(sockfd, buffer, strlen(buffer));
	
	if (n < 0)
		printf ("ERROR writing to socket");
	bzero(buffer, 256);
	n = read (sockfd, buffer, 255);
	
	if (n < 0)   
		printf ("ERROR reading from socket");
	printf("here we are %s\n", buffer);
	close(sockfd);*/
}
my server C# program in window is
Code:
namespace server_window
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
          static TcpListener tcpListener = new TcpListener(IPAddress.Parse("192.168.0.2"), 1234);
        TcpClient socketForClient;
       EndPoint ep;
       public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            BW_Connection.RunWorkerAsync();
        }
      
        private void BW_Connection_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
        {
            tcpListener.Start();
            socketForClient = tcpListener.AcceptTcpClient();
            ep = socketForClient.Client.RemoteEndPoint;
              this.Invoke(new MethodInvoker(delegate { TB_text.Text = "Client connected..."; }));
        }
           private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
        {
            socketForClient.Close();
            
        }

    }
}

If my program is wrong, pls kindly let me know. Coz I am a bit new to socket programming and Linux. Thanks a lot..

I think you already asked this and got the answer.

You can't use the local host name as if it is a remote system - unless you only want to connect to local services.

Why do you repeat your threads? If you need explanation or further help you can just use your original thread(s) and type your question. Marking the old one solved (and saying thanks) means you are satisfied with that solution.

Just ask your question and also try to understand the responses. If those answers were not really suitable for you please state it and ask further (without opening new threads).

Where is this code coming from?
