Can you tell if the recipient actually got any of the data?  At what 
point do you get this error?  Is the client able to connect to the 
server?  Could you extract some more code (connection made, the sender's 
sending code, receiver's receiving code, etc.) so we can see what you're 
doing?  Did you happen to tell the server to bind "localhost" or 127.0.0.1?
