Bind error : Address already in use problem

In my program:

The parent process acts as a server
The child (forked process) acts as a client
When I try to bind a socket to a port and IP of my machine I am
getting Address already in use error.
I have tried different port numbers too but that was of no avail.

Can someone help ! I used 2004,2006,3000, 5005 ports.

Are you sure that you haven't bind to a port twice? Only server need
to do bind, the client just need to connect or sendto(UDP).

Anyway, some code from you may help more.
