Trouble with sockets...oops

Using cli version of php4x:

I can't create any sockets... keep getting error 10060 - timed out...

<?php
echo "Opening socket...\n\r";
$fp = @fsockopen('xx.xx.xx.xx',55000,$errno,$errstr,60);
if (!$fp)
{
die(sprintf('Error [%d]: %s',$errno,$errstr));
}
echo "Socket: $fp open.\n\r";
socket_set_blocking($fp,false);

fwrite($fp,"From parent\r\n");
while($line = fgets($fp,1024))
{
echo "$line\n\r";
if ($line = "exit")
{
break;
}
}

fclose($fp);
?>

always fails -- unless I try to connect to my web server port...

How do I create a socket for read/write access?

Error 10060 - timed out...

I think I know the problem... You can't create a socket with the higher
level functions (fsockopen, etc.) but need the lower level functions
instead. I don't have the ability to recompile PHP --with-sockets.

I'm downloading Mandrake Linux, will I be able to compile with that or do
I need anything else?
