Hi!

This is just a shot in the dark - but are you sure the struct/object you 
are sending has the same representation on both of your computers?
From the code you posted it looks like you are sending the in-memory 
representation of a struct or object and that might be different across 
different platforms, operating systems or even compilers.

IFAIK one would normally explicitly arrange/marshal the data into a well 
defined format before sending it and likewise decode it from that format
at the receiver. This is a bit more work but it avoids a lot of problems 
w.r.t. portability and interoperability. :)

Best regards,
