You're waisting resources, that's the problem. Observe the handle usage of your server process while running the client, and you'll be surprised. shutdown doesn't close the socket and consequentially doesn't remove the socket from the system tables. Use close instead of shutdown. Also, if you never call wait or waitpid to reap child processes, you end up with lots of zombie processes (the child processes you don't see in task manager). Next time, please convert your test application to compile under gcc, not VC++.
