On Win32 it is neccessary to initialize socket functions using WSAStartup() and clean them up at end using WSACleanup(). WSADATA wsadata; /* 0x0101 can be replaced with MAKEWORD(1, 1) and ** is the wanted version number of WINSOCK.DLL */ if (WSAStartup(0x0101, &wsadata) == SOCKET_ERROR) { printf("error initializing Windows Sockets 1.1"); return 0; } WSACleanup(); Hope that helps. bye Michael - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
