Very Computer

I have a special hardware card that is sending out UDP packets.  I am
monitoring the network on a SunSparc 20.  

The sparc is 177.177.28.153 the card is 177.177.153.145
The card src port is 177.177.153.145.7200 and I am receiving packets at
177.177.153.255.6104-6131.  I have tried to connect to the sending and
receiving ports via a socket with no luck.  When I use etherfind
I am able to see the packets just great.  I am new to sockets and think
that part of the problem might be that none of these ports are known to
the portmapper.  

Am I wrong, any suggestions?  I have browsed/read through Stevens and half
a dozen others but haven't found any solution.

thanks

Umm, the portmapper has to do with Sun RPC services. It isn't required
for other kinds of network programming at all.

BTW what do you mean by "connect"? UDP is a connectionless protocol.
