Socket Exception using 1.4

[Michael E. Mercer]

Attached you will find LRC.java... LRC=Linksys Router Connection

This code when run by version 1.3 works fine.

When run by 1.4, it throws a SocketException.

Here is the code inline... it throws the exception at the readLine()
call.

to run it, the params are <username> <password> <IP> <page>
	<username> username of the Linksys Router
	<password> password for Linksys Router
	<IP>       IP address assigned to the Linksys Router
	<page>     the page you want to retrieve

Thanks
