Answer 1

the network is working perfectly fineThe network is timing out your connect attempts so there is something wrong somewhere.
catch will give the error msg or the entire try block. but will it give for the exact line?Suppose you try it yourself and find out?
by the way i m catching the exception i m just not printing it.Yes I am aware of that, thanks, I can read, and that's exactly what I commented on, and by the way Java forces you to catch the exception, so there's no virtue in that. On the contrary. Catchingand ignoring the exception is why its taken five days to debug this simple problem. Never do that.
