The problem is that it had worked always fine until yesterday. I really
hadn't done any change in the software. Moreover, I think that it also
showed the same error but with "unsupported address family #6". Can this
happen due to a hardware problem? Can a network card be the problem?

Hi!

-----
Connecting to (unsupported address family #5)...
ERROR: SocketAddress::createSocketAddress(sockaddr) - Unknown address
family !
Connection establishment failed: Can't assign requested address
-----

I assume you establish a connection using ext_connect() using a sockaddr_*
structure created before. Check the code that creates this structure. Do
you set the address family correctly (e.g. address->sin_family = AF_INET
for sockaddr_in)?
The error message above is printed when a sockaddr_* structure is
converted to an SocketAddress object; this is the structure where
addresses are handled internally. Currently, only AF_INET, AF_INET6 and
AF_UNIX are supported by this class. The family type 5 is AF_CHAOS (under
FreeBSD).
