Here is a really simple example.  Run s then c.  If you don't get a
java.net.SocketExcepion: Connection reset I'll eat my hat (or a
reasonable facsimile like a cheeseburger).  I'm not being rude but I
won't be able to reply for a week to 10 days.  Sorry.

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class s {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(1111);
        Socket s = ss.accept();
        Thread.sleep(1000);
    }
}

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;

public class c {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            Socket s = new Socket("127.0.0.1",1111);
            System.out.println(
             "connected to: " + s.getInetAddress().getHostAddress());
            InputStream is = s.getInputStream();
            is.read();
        } catch (Exception e) {
            System.out.println(e);
        }
    }
}
