socket question


Perhaps somebody can help me understand this behavior..

On host1 inside the tcl shell I type

set s [socket -async host1 19000]

I get an error "couldn't open socket: connection refused". This I
expected
as I have no server listening on host1:19000

On host2 inside the tcl shell I type

set s [socket -async host1 19000]

and I get "sock5". There is still no server listening on host1:19000,
and so I'm
wondering why on host2 I don't get the "couldn't open socket:
connection refused" message?

Thanks in advance,

Stuart
