I'm not sure what you are trying to do, but if you want to listen on
a particular socket on you local machine, say on port 1520, this code
will work-
bindname.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
bindname.sin_family = AF_INET;
bindname.sin_port = htons(1520);
n = bind(sock, &bindname, sizeof(bindname));
