Hi All,
I am new to Linux, I have one Client-Server application which I have
ported from Windows 2003 to FC5.
But while testing the application if I am plugging out the Ethernet
cable Both Client and Server applications
Are not able to detect that network connectivity is lost, Client
application is able to send data on connected
socket but Server is not able to get it (here at client side send API is
not returning -1) and after putting the
cable back they start receiving data again.
Can any body help me out?

Ankur.
You may want to grab the source for ifplugd and see how they do it.
One thing to keep in mind is that not all NICs/drivers support this.
