I am writing a Client/Server set of programs

Depending on the operation requested by the client, I use make TCP or UDP request.

Implementing the client side is straight-forward, since I can easily open connection with any protocol and send the request to the server-side.

On the servers-side, on the other hand, I would like to listen both for UDP and TCP connections on the same port. Moreover, I like the the server to open new thread for each connection request.

I have adopted the approach explained in: link text

I have extended this code sample by creating new threads for each TCP/UDP request.

This works correctly if I use TCP only, but it fails when I attempt to make UDP bindings.

Please give me any suggestion how can I correct this.

tnx
