I learned it from: http://www.madwizard.org

Even though his tutorial isn't finished yet, its been a great explenation for me

johnnie2 · 08-06-2003, 09:01 AM

I'd like to suggest:

Johnnie's Winsock Tutorial

for inclusion into the list.

Avoid the following Fallacies in your network programs

3. Bandwidth is infinite
4. The network is secure
5. Topology doesn't change
6. There is one administrator
7. Transport cost is zero
8. The network is homogeneous

Network analyser - http://www.ethereal.com/
Use this to
1. Watch what existing browser / email / ftp / chat client does already
2. Watch what your program is doing different, if you're writing a browser / email / etc

In a similar (or perhaps even the same vein), there's Wireshark, which is either the new name for ethereal, or a fork (I don't know which).

there is one very important thing missing from this list, a raw sockets guide:
http://packetstorm.widexs.nl/program...raw_socket.txt

you gotta love raw sockets, even if win xp sp2 (*cough* lame *cough*) does not!

Reading data from a socket

**Thantos** · 11-23-2005, 11:07 PM

FYI: The Beej guide has moved to http://beej.us/guide/bgnet/ and has been updated in the first post.

DevilPanther's link for raw sockets seems to be down/out-of-date, Try:

http://www.megasecurity.org/Programming/rawip.txt

Devil Panther · 11-07-2006, 12:59 AM

Here is a better document on Raw Sockets: http://www.madchat.org//coding/c/c.r...raw_socket.txt

This, I'm sure, is a good tutorial but for windows dudes only ....
At least I can't get it to run under GNU\LINUX distro (at least true to the open source philosophy)

I believe that anyone who ever dreams to write a network application should know NETWORKING!
But the link has nothing to do with Window or Linux, it's the general idea of how it works.
