Does anyone have any idea why when I create socket connections like

Socket s = new Socket(Some InetAddress Object, Some Port);

Given that you haven't told us either the IP address or the port in question,
then no, I don't know. All I can do is guess.

There are 3 things I can think of which might be getting in the way. There is no
route between the two IP addresses. The user running the code doesn't have
sufficient privilege to open the port requested. There is a firewall blocking
the connection.
