Hi

I am writing a simple socket program in java as follows:

    try {
           System.out.println("Creating a new socket...\n");
           echoSocket = new Socket("130.126.243.188", 1029);
           System.out.println("Socket created!\n");
           out = new PrintWriter(echoSocket.getOutputStream(), true);
           in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
                                       echoSocket.getInputStream()));
       } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
           System.err.println("Don't know about host: 130.126.243.188.");
           System.exit(1);
       } catch (IOException e) {
           System.err.println("Couldn't get I/O for "
                              + "the connection to: 130.126.243.188.");
           System.exit(1);
       }

The ip address specified above is one of the machines on my network. I am
able to ping to this machine. However when i execute this program, I get the
error:
"Couldn't get I/O for the connection to: 130.126.243.188"

Can anyone point out the error to me here ? Thanks.
