Error: The requested address is not valid in its context.

[AngelOfCarnage]

I am working on developing a client server application that currently provides simple chat functionality. The server application appears to be working properly listening on one port for a TCP connection and another for UDP messages. But, when the client attempts a connection I get an error thrown that says "The requested address is not valid in its context.". The server is currently running on one machine while the client is running on another. I am using a Unity 3d scene to run the client as eventually I would like to use this to develop a multiplayer game. Here is the source code for what I have. I have been working on this issue for days now and could really use the help. Thank you. This is .NET 3.5

That is a ton of code. Can you break it down into something more simple and manageable that reproduces the issue?

This thread appears to duplicate another one created on the same day: http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=513529

I suggest we discuss the issue there, if there is more to say.
