Streaming data in with an fSocket

Hi all, I am attempting to build a simple socket connection into UE4.11.

I have this code, based on many hours internet trawling:

void UMyfTCPObject::Connect()
{

	UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("ConnectionManager::Init"));

	FSocket* Socket = ISocketSubsystem::Get(PLATFORM_SOCKETSUBSYSTEM)->CreateSocket(NAME_Stream, TEXT("default"), true);
	FString address = TEXT("localhost");
	int32 port = 19834;

	TSharedRef<FInternetAddr> addr = ISocketSubsystem::Get(PLATFORM_SOCKETSUBSYSTEM)->CreateInternetAddr();

	addr->SetAnyAddress();
//	addr->SetIp("127.0.0.1");
	addr->SetPort(port);

	
	UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Socket created! Connecting to server..."));
	bool didConnect = Socket->Connect(*addr);
	if (didConnect)
	{
		UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Connection state: true"));

		
	}
	else
	{
		UE_LOG(LogTemp, Warning, TEXT("Connection state: false"));
	}
}

But it will not connect. Always jumping to “Connection state: false”.
Does this look correct? Or have I gone terribly wrong?

Thank you!
