Need to use standard socket 'connect' and not QObject::connect!

[the_bis]

Hi,
I have to use standard C++ socket instead of QT QSocket object.
So I've used this code:

if (connect(socketDescriptor,
              (struct sockaddr *) &serverAddress,
              sizeof(serverAddress)) < 0) {
    cerr << "cannot connect\n";
    exit(1);
}

if (connect(socketDescriptor,
              (struct sockaddr *) &serverAddress,
              sizeof(serverAddress)) < 0) {
    cerr << "cannot connect\n";
    exit(1);
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

but this conflicts with a "QObject::connect" I use in an other part of my code.

So I have this error:

qtnclient.cpp: In member function ‘QString DeviceConfiguration::getValueFromServer(QString&, int&, QString&, DeviceConfiguration::configDatabyModule&)’:
qtnclient.cpp:484: error: no matching function for call to ‘DeviceConfiguration::connect(int&, sockaddr*, unsigned int)’

I need to use "QObject::connect" in a part of my program but I need also to use the standard C/C++ "connect" in another part of my program...

Any help?
Thanks,
