Thread: help with listen and sockets.

server: i make a listen with 5 backlog

and then a newfd= accept...

several clients can connect several times, trade messages and shutdown (after closing newfd)

the problem is that if the same client stays alive and makes more then 5 connect close cyles i get a error on the 6th connect

does the 5 in listen mean i can only connect 5 times with each client?

i have a printf in the server so that each time a newfd is created i get it´s number. when it´s closed by the client, i close it also in the server. close does not return -1, and the number of the closed fd is the same as newfd.

i imagine this can be hard to understand without code, but it´s a big program...

any help?
