Connection to marketcetera exchange simulator

Hi,

I am a newbie here. I am writing a FIX(4.2) client from scratch. I registered with marketcetera to obtain access to a FIX complaint exchange simulator. Then I wrote a small tcp client in C using winsocks2 and successfully connected it to 75.101.144.181 (i.e. exchange.marketcetera.com) on port 7001.

Now when I send a login request:

8=FIX.4.2 9=112\001 35=A 49=sender-xxxx-ORS 56=MRKT 34=01 52=19980604-07:58:28 112=19980604-07:58:28 10=157

I simply get no response. I create the above string as:

char String[300] = ("8=FIX.4.2\001 9=112\001 35=A\001 49=sender-xxxx-ORS\001 56=MRKT\001 34=01\001 52=19980604-07:58:28\001 112=19980604-07:58:28\001 10=157\001");

Where I used xxxx here to hide my SenderCompID. I am using \001 for the <SOH>.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
