hi help me regarding socket and timer programming

[shakthi_b]

hi i have a server program which accept multiple client connection and am using polling.like every 2 secs it will look to client whether any data is received after it binded. i have used setitimer but there is runtime error i got.. the server accept all client connection but doesn't execute any msg which client sent.. please help me as soon as possible.. here my code...

if setitimer concept is wrong, please suggest me some other system call to execute this program... my concept is, every 2 sec server should lookup for client whether they send any message, if it is then it have to display else not... please help me.
