If you compile one of the example applications (without modifying them at
all), can you connect then?

If not, perhaps it's your own computer's firewall? If you're using windows
you may need to relax the personal firewall security policy. If linux, then
you may need to open a port on the network-facing interface (loopback
interfaces are normally more permissive).

But I'm guessing here. You need to get a known working program running and
start from there. If the verbatim asio examples fail, the problem is your
environment If they work, it's your program that's at fault.

Of course it could easily be both - which is why we need to start with
something we can trust.
