Setting time out for connect() function tcp socket programming in C is not working

What 'isn't working' is the subsequent recvfrom(), and that's because you left the socket in non-blocking mode and you don't know what to do with the resulting EAGAIN. So, either handle that, by using select() to tell you when the socket is ready to read, or else put the socket back into blocking mode after finishing the connect.
