Hi All,
I am trying to create a udp socket.
It works fine but the program hhangs for a few seconds[at
DatagramSocket clientSocket = new DatagramSocket();] before ti
actually sends the data out.Could any one tell me why?

try
                 {

                         System.out.println("Creating datagram");
                         DatagramSocket clientSocket = new DatagramSocket();

                         InetAddress IPAddress =
                            InetAddress.getByName("localhost");
                        byte[] sendData;
                        byte[] receiveData = new byte[1024];
                        String sentence ="TEST";
                        sendData = sentence.getBytes();
                        DatagramPacket sendPacket =
                            new DatagramPacket(sendData, sendData.length,
                                               IPAddress, 9876);
                        clientSocket.send(sendPacket);

}

Cheers,

It doe NOT [your code copied into main] for me. So check the rest of
your code...
BTW: why do you think that it hangs there? (and NOT somewhere else)?
