root-client and C-server

Dear Rooters,

I want to build a client-server system with a root-client and a simple
stand-alone server written in C. I can send a message from root-client
to C-server. The server acts by sending back a copy of the client's
message. This message, however, for some reason does not reach the
root-client.

I learned that root adds 8 bytes (length and type) at the beginning of
each
message and expects the same from the received messages. This should not
cause a problem because the server sends a copy of the client's message.

Here is my root-client session:

root [0] gROOT->Reset();
root [1] TSocket *soc = new TSocket("kp1pck",7777);
root [2] soc->Send("dupa");
root [3] char str[256];
root [4] soc->Recv(str,100);

here root hangs waiting for the answer which never comes.

Thanks for any hints
