UDP example from slides throws exception

Building and running the code from the Network slides, DatagramSocket ctor throws an exception on my computer

Code: Select all

      Poco::Net::SocketAddress sa("localhost", 514);
      Poco::Net::DatagramSocket dgs(sa);


The code below works, at least with the Mac OS 10.6 ports build (1.4.3p1, Revision 1)

Code: Select all

      Poco::Net::DatagramSocket dgs;
      Poco::Net::SocketAddress sa("localhost", 514);
      dgs.connect(sa);


Also why would you not use a higher port number, accessible to common user?
