According to Steven's Network Programming, when binding to
INADDR_ANY, the operating system doesn't assign an address
until the first write. This is unlike the port, where using
port 0, an ephemeral port is assigned right away. I don't
have the book handy right now, so I forgot if the INADDR_ANY
behavior is only when you have multiple interfaces or not.

You can try sending a byte before getting the address for the
port and see if that works. Do you have anything weird, like
not having a default route (gateway)?
