Subject: Socket: Getting EADDRNOTAVAIL in bind method

Hi,

I am new to Socket programming in ruby and want to connect to a device.
I am able to make a connection using the following code but failing in
the bind method. Here's the snippet:

     require 'socket'
     include Socket::Constants

     socket = Socket.new( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 )
     puts socket.inspect  (returns #<Socket:0x2b85694>)

     sockaddr = Socket.pack_sockaddr_in(5555,'114.23.42.42')
     puts sockaddr.inspect (returns
"\002\000\025\263\217[\"\315\000\000\000\000\000\000\000\000")

     bound = socket.bind(sockaddr)
     puts bound.inspect

In the last method bind, getting the following error:

Test.rb:50:in `bind': The requested address is not valid in its context.
- bind(2) (Errno::EADDRNOTAVAIL)

I think I might be missing something elementary here. If anyone can
please help with it, would be really grateful.

Thanks,
Anukul
