Problem with IP address as positional argument

I want to enter an IP address and a PORT number as positional arguments. Like this:

./client 127.0.0.1 12345

They pass, I check that they are correct (I solved this with two functions, whose arguments I passed as char *), and then I try to pass the IP address and PORT number to two variables. sin_port accepts the PORT number as a value, but s_addr doesn't accept the IP address (in principle). Like this:

int ret;
struct sockaddr_in servaddr;

servaddr.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(argv[1]); //inet_addr accepts char*
servaddr.sin_port = htons (atoi(argv[2]));

// then

ret = connect (connSock, (struct sockaddr *) &servaddr, sizeof (servaddr));

And because of connect() the terminal don't do anything.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for answers!

Edit:

Here is the code of my client module:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <sys/types.h>
#include <netinet/in.h>
#include <netinet/sctp.h>
#include <arpa/inet.h>
#include <errno.h>

// ./clientTest (távoli IP) (port)

#define MAX_BUFFER 1024
// #define MY_PORT_NUM 62324 /* This can be changed to suit the need and should be same in server and client */

I drew a conslusion from information what Wireshark provided: it seems like the IP address argument doesn't pass correctly to the program. From Wireshark:

09 39.287070587 192.168.0.104 0.0.0.127 SCTP 82 INIT 3

Where 0.0.0.127 is the destination IP.

If you want my server code, then tell me.
