Netlink socket creation-packet decoder

Hello,
I have done some programming to get the information of packets recieved at the kernel, for this I have implemented one DGRAM socket at server side and tryinig to read packets arrriving at client using the netlink socket. But problem is that after the call to recvmsg, the code gets blocked, that is, it is not receiveing messages and headers ffrom either kernal or the server. If any one could help would be welcomed.I am submitting my client and server codes also.

Code:

/* a client program for netlink socket */
#include<stdio.h>
#include<netinet/in.h>
#include<sys/socket.h>
#include<sys/types.h>
#include<linux/netlink.h>
#include<arpa/inet.h>
#include<netdb.h>
#include<stdlib.h>
#include<string.h>
#include<errno.h>
#define MAX_PAYLOAD 100  /* maximum payload size*/
#define portno 41234

int main()
{
	int sockfd,sock_fd,serlen,serverlen,sequence_number=0;
	struct sockaddr_in server_addr;
	struct sockaddr_nl serv_addr;
	struct nlmsghdr *nlh=NULL;
//	struct msghdr msg;
	struct iovec iov;
	char buffer[20];
	serlen=sizeof(serv_addr);
	serverlen=sizeof(server_addr);
	sockfd=socket(AF_NETLINK,SOCK_RAW,NETLINK_FIREWALL);
	printf("sockfd=%d\n",sockfd);
	memset((struct sockaddr *)&serv_addr,0,serlen);
	sock_fd=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0);
/* Fill in the socket header */	
	server_addr.sin_family=AF_INET;
	server_addr.sin_port=htons(portno);
	server_addr.sin_addr.s_addr=INADDR_ANY;
	strcpy(buffer,"Hello!");
	sendto(sock_fd,buffer,20,0,(struct sockaddr *)&server_addr,serverlen);
	printf("sending:---%s\n",buffer); 
	serv_addr.nl_family=AF_NETLINK;      
 	serv_addr.nl_pid=0;			/* for destination as kernel */
	serv_addr.nl_groups=0;		/* not in mcast groups */
	nlh=(struct nlmsghdr *)malloc(NLMSG_SPACE(MAX_PAYLOAD));
/* Fill the netlink message header */
	nlh->nlmsg_len=NLMSG_SPACE(MAX_PAYLOAD);
	nlh->nlmsg_pid=0;	/* self pid */
	nlh->nlmsg_flags=0;	
	nlh->nlmsg_type=NULL;
	nlh->nlmsg_seq=++sequence_number;
/* Fill in the netlink message payload */
	strcpy(NLMSG_DATA(nlh),"Hello you!");
	iov.iov_base=(void *)nlh;
	iov.iov_len=nlh->nlmsg_len;
/*	msg.msg_name=(void *)&serv_addr;
	msg.msg_namelen=serlen;
	msg.msg_iov=&iov;
	msg.msg_iovlen=1;*/
	struct msghdr msg={(void *)&serv_addr,serlen,&iov,1,NULL,0,0};
	while(strcmp(NLMSG_DATA(nlh),"exit")!=0)
	{	
		memset(nlh,0,NLMSG_SPACE(MAX_PAYLOAD));
		recvmsg(sockfd,&msg,0);
		printf("received:%s\n",NLMSG_DATA(nlh));
	}
	return 0;
}
