I want to implement a Socket Server on a Symbian mobile phone using standard library. I have my ethernet connection configured as DHCP.

-----------
 CODE N. 1
-----------
When I use the functions socket() + bind() + listen() + accept() + recv() NO IP ADDRESS IS ASSIGNED TO THE RUNNING EMULATOR, to obtain an IP address I workarounded the problem in the following way:
 - I opened a client connection (on a separate socket) before opening the server socket.
 - I sniffed my network to see wich IP address is assigned to the emulator
This seems very strange to me, anyone have some suggestions ?


-----------
 CODE N. 2
-----------
I tried to use the function recvfrom() or the function read() to read data from a RAW socket.
My code (fully listed below) contains:
   --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   SockId = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_RAW, IPPROTO_TCP);
   bytes_received = recvfrom(SockId, buffer, sizeof(buffer), 0,(struct sockaddr *)&from, &fromlen);

   or alternatively
   bytes_received = read (SockId, &buffer, sizeof (buffer));
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In both cases, at runtime, I get an "Invalid argument" error message on recvfrom() or on read() function.
The same program on linux machines works perfectly


Can someone help me ?
Thanks in advance
