    Htons?

    Should htons be used on all data recieved by a winsock?

    no, it should not.
    When all else fails, read the instructions.
    If you're posting code, use code tags: [code] /* insert code here */ [/code]

    htons shouldn't be used on any data received over a network it should be used on data sent over a network and then only when the remote peer expects it. ntohs is used on received data.
