I changed the code somewhat to mimic that of code found in Elliote Rusty
Harold's Java Network Programming.  He attempts to connect to
whois.internic.net at port 43.  I am able to do so using Telnet but I can't
get the socket to do so.  I also attemtp to connect to several webservers
(amazon.com, dell.com) which I can also do via Telnet but no luck with the
java code.

The weird things is I can use other java.net code like InetAddress without
problem.

Here's the latest code:


package Internet;
import java.net.*;
import java.io.*;

public class PortChecker {

  public static String host;
  public static int port;

  public static void main(String[] args) {
    Socket sock;

    //System.out.println("port # " + port);
    try {
      host = args[0];
      port = Integer.parseInt(args[1]);

      sock = new Socket(host, port);
      System.out.println("Server on port " + port  + " on host " + host);
    }

    catch (IOException ioe) {
      System.err.println(ioe);
      ioe.printStackTrace();
    }

  }//main

}//class
