Hello good day to everyone.

my other email ad is a member of this list but im 
just confuse so i use this email ad instead to ask
some questions.

i have a question regarding network programming.
my program connects to a server using INADDR_ANY
as the host address.

does the macro INADDR_ANY points to loopback
interface?

what if the /etc/hosts fileis edited and the value of
localhost is changed to "50.50.50.20" from "127.0.0.1"
  
is it possible the program will fail? considering that
using 127.0.0.1 as "localhost" ip add the program
functions well.

it puzzles me. since the program was supposed to work.

any help would be very much appreciated. 

thanks a lot.


lejanson
