LinuxQuestions.org - Wargame n/w programming problem

Hi All,
Was playing a war game...to improve my coding n stuff...heres the problem...

Code:

Your goal is to connect to port 5842 on

vortex.labs.pulltheplug.org and read in 4 unsigned integers. Add these integers together and send back the results to get a username and password for level 1. Note that vortex is on an x86 machine (meaning, a little endian architecture).

And here's my code.....but it isnt working...anything thats obviously wrong???...I didnt try the little endian stuff...coz Im using an X86 as well...

If Im in the wrong forum..can someone point me to a placve where I can discuss C Network programming..

Thnx
Arvind
