Hello guys, i'v spent a lot of time on the msdn page about sockets
Now i've got this code that is compiling without any error:

}

the output is
Invalid socket!
Send failed! - 10038
i didn't understand: how and where i can specify the server's ip?
Thanks for the answers!

Hi,
maybe you should try WSAGetLastError after trying to initialize your socket, get the return value of the function "connect" to the output as well.

That error code you get seems to be the one that is returned when trying "send" on a socket who's initialization failed. Then you can return if the Socket is not initialzed properly

Nothing more i can say about that, sorry,
...

"Invalid socket!" appears when the connection on line 62 failed. This happens when no one is listening to that address/port.

Line 69 shouldn't be there. It is already done on line 53.

Always use WSAGetLastError to determine what exactly went wrong.

i've got a simple client / server progs that work if you're interested. simple they are but work. as examples
