Error in connect() in TCP client code

Hi, i have written a tcp client code to connect and send a message to the server.
It stops after gives "Connecting Error", so I am not able to send the message to server.
Please help me.

Code:

---

#include <iostream>

#include <sys/types.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>

#include <netinet/in.h>
#include<time.h>
#include<stdlib.h>


using namespace std;
int main()
{
        int socket_desc;
        struct sockaddr_in address;

        socket_desc=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,0);

        if (socket_desc==-1)
        {
        cout<<"Create socket"<<endl;
        exit(1);
        }
        else
        cout<<"Socket created successfully and socket file descripter is : "<<socket_desc;
        cout<<endl;


        address.sin_family       
        //address.sin_addr.s_addr=INADDR_ANY;
        address.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");

        address.sin_port = htons(8051);
        if(connect(socket_desc,(struct sockaddr *)&address,sizeof(address))==-1)
                {cout<<"connecting Error"<<endl;
                exit(1);}
        else
        cout<<"connection done"<<endl;

        const char *message="Thank you\n\r";
        send(socket_desc,message,sizeof(message),0);

        if (send(socket_desc,message,sizeof(message),0)!=sizeof(message))
          {
                cout<<"send error"<<endl;
                exit(1);
        }
        else
        {cout<<"Message sent successfully"<<endl;}
       
        cout<<"done";
       



        close(socket_desc);
        return 0;
}

Thanks in advance.

Add these includes
#include <string.h>
#include <errno.h>

And modify your error code

Code:

---

        if(connect(socket_desc,(struct sockaddr *)&address,sizeof(address))==-1)
                {
                char *msg = strerror(errno);
                cout<<"connecting Error: Reason="<< msg <<endl;
                exit(1);}

Your indent style is hard to read.

The Winsock API seems to be good to work with as well... But I take it you want it portable to *nix or something since your not using that?
