server side socket program hangs

[anuradha.k.r at sify.com]

hi,
   Well i dono wat more to say.My client side is working properly ,the
error i get in the client side is connection refused.my client
responds to other server programs.
In my earlier postings i'd mentioned that while debugging i am not
able to understand what is happening at the def accept()(function call
in socket.py).
I use debugger control to debug,my program stays still at
accept().First i thought its waiting for a connection,but then my
client failed,morover my server is not ending.(it is not because of
the infinite while loop,i 've checked without the while loop).
When i try to close this program alone all the python applications
close.i guess itz hanging only.I don think it is system dependent.
Neways i tried from other machines ,the program still hangs.I am sorry
,but this is wat all i can say.
Do tell if there are any kind of problem related.
thanx,
AKR.
