all this socket programming stuff seems a 'little' weird to me.
all these structures.... how is someone ever going to remember?
im confused.
i now got a first look at programming sockets in C.
could anyone come up with suggestions what i should try to program?
(something really really easy please)
would be cool.

EDIT: im programming in an unix environment.
Server that outputs teh ascii table forever and ever (until client disconnects)
aka, chargen
Look at any of the simplistic UNIX daemons like time, chargen, etc.
Write a MUD from scratch. That'll keep you busy for a while.
Quzah.
Hope is the first step on the road to disappointment.
thanks for your suggestions but i dont even know how to
use the bind(), connect(), etc... functions.
do i have to simply learn them by rote?
well i dont know how to master the structures and the many headers. well anyway thanks!
salem: i read the first of the links you posted.
but i dont seem to get smarter of that.
its late now, ill have a try tomorrow again.

If you cannot understand then maybe you should wait until you have learned more.
Yes maybe u should wait or start out SLOW. I would recommend typing in many examples of other socket programs created by other people. When you feel comfortable you can start writing for instance a chat program to be used over a LAN or a program that would sit on a port and just wait for another computer to connect to it. Just start out slow and move up.
