Thread: first program

this is my first attempt on writing a winsock program
its pretty cool i always thought it was gonna be harder but it seems really easy

anyway its only a simple "hello world" program
my problem is i cant figure out a way to connect to a user
actually STAY connected with telnet when i run it.
i want to use connect() to establish a connection with the user
on telnet.

ive seen somewhere they used something like LPHOSTENT host
then gethostbyname("cprogramming.com")

but my problem is i want to connect to address instead of doing that
here is the code

Code:

int main()
{	
    int ok;
	WORD sockVersion;
	WSADATA wsaData;
   	sockVersion = MAKEWORD(2, 0);	
    WSAStartup(sockVersion, &wsaData);
	
   SOCKET sock,usersocket, consock;

   sock=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,IPPROTO_TCP);

   LPHOSTENT host;
   
   struct sockaddr_in insocket;

   insocket.sin_family=AF_INET;
   insocket.sin_port=htons(7777);
   insocket.sin_addr.s_addr=INADDR_ANY; 
   memset(&(insocket.sin_zero), '\0', 8);

   int bin=bind(sock,(struct sockaddr*)&insocket,sizeof(struct sockaddr));
   

if(bin==SOCKET_ERROR)
{
	cout<<"ERROR";
}

listen(sock,10);

int size=sizeof(sockaddr);
usersocket=accept(sock,(struct sockaddr*)&insocket,&size);

if(usersocket==INVALID_SOCKET)
{
	cout<<"error";
}


else
{

char *text="pode was here";
int len;
len=strlen(text);
int sen=send(usersocket,text,len,0);

if(sen==SOCKET_ERROR)
{
	cout<<sen<<"error";
}
else 
{

 ok=connect(consock,(struct sockaddr *)&insocket,sizeof(struct sockaddr));  // here is were my problem is

if(ok==SOCKET_ERROR)
{
	cout<<"error";
}

}

}
closesocket(usersocket);
closesocket(sock);
closesocket(consock);
	return 0;

}

i looked around a bit
i got a feeling that im totally in the wrong way

Is it even possible to connect to telnet?
or even request something?
