i have server and client application running on different system.
server is just sending data and client is receiving. when server side
app's network disconnected(not client side N/W down) then client app's
recv() hang waiting for data(recv() is blocking fun and i dont want it
to be non-blocking) so my app hang. can anyone tell me how to come out
from blocking recv()

If you know you should receive some data at least every x seconds, then you
could set a receive timeout of 2x seconds perhaps. Or you could have some
other thread monitoring activity in your recv() thread and close the socket
if you see nothing happening.
