Hi All,
I am trying to create a udp socket.
It works fine but the program hhangs for a few seconds[at
DatagramSocket clientSocket = new DatagramSocket();] before ti
actually sends the data out.Could any one tell me why?

try
        {

            System.out.println("Creating datagram");
            DatagramSocket clientSocket = new DatagramSocket();

            InetAddress IPAddress =
                   InetAddress.getByName("localhost");
               byte[] sendData;
               byte[] receiveData = new byte[1024];
               String sentence ="TEST";
               sendData = sentence.getBytes();
               DatagramPacket sendPacket =
                   new DatagramPacket(sendData, sendData.length,
                                      IPAddress, 9876);
               clientSocket.send(sendPacket);

}
Cheers,
Sam
