Re: Fw: winsock

["Vani R." <vani@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

You need to use the following before making use of win sock calls.

if (WSAStartup(wVersion,&wsaData) != 0)
 {
  Terminate(GetLastError());
  return FALSE;
 }

where the two parameters of WSAStartup declared and initialized as follows:
WORD wVersion = MAKEWORD(1,1);
 WSADATA wsaData;

Hope this helps u.
