SFML Networking - Error Sending Packet through UDP protocol - c++

Question

I'm pretty new to SFML networking and have been working on a pong clone for quite some time. I've written two programs: a client and a server. My problem is that the two don't seem to properly send/receive data between each other. I've checked and my ports properly bind and my packet isn't larger than the max datagram size. However, when I check the status of socket.send(...) against Socket::Done it finds that the data did not send. Is there something I'm doing wrong?
