You are zapping your whole struct before sending it to call! The line you
have commented out is right. The one you replaced it with (memset) is
wrong. You only want to "zero out" the member sin_zero.
Also, you can check errno to get the reson why the call failed although in
this case. The "man connect" will tell you lots more.
