connect() succeeds after n-attempts.... why?

[Wilson <Wilson@WSSPL.com>]

Hello,
Ive a problem. I wrote a sample TCP client which tries to connects to some
server (IPAddress:Port) in a loop. The connect() call succeeds after few
attempts.
We tried the same code on HP-UX and Solaris, where it was working properly
(caonnect() failing all the time...)

Please support
Regards
Wilson
    
    .........
    while( 1 )
    {
        int fd = socket( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 );
        if( fd < 0 )
        {
            cout << "socket() failed" << endl;
            return fd;
        }

        struct sockaddr_in  addr;
        addr.sin_family = AF_INET;
        addr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr( "134.15.15.39" );
        addr.sin_port = 10000;

        if( connectStatus = connect( fd, ( const sockaddr *)&addr,
                                        sizeof( addr ) ) < 0 )
        {
            cout << "connect() failed" << endl;
            close( fd );
        //  return -1;
        }

        if( connectStatus == 0 )
        if( connectStatus == 0 )
        {
            cout << "connect succedded " << endl;
            break;
        }
    }

    cout << "out of while loop " << endl;
    ........

[But the connect call succeeds after a few repetitions.]
