I have been working on this project for a while. Its my first winsock application so im probably missing something simple. The problem in having is that is cannot send more than 8 characters at a time. here is the source code.

Code:
#include <windows.h>
#include <winsock.h>

#include "main.h"
#include "sock.h"

HWND hwnd;               /* This is the handle for our window */

HWND ipedit;             /* Handle for ip address edit window */
HWND port;               /* Handle for tcp port edit window */
HWND msgtosend;          /* Handle for message to send over connection edit window */
HWND connectbutton;      /* Handle for connect button */
HWND sendmsgbutton;      /* Handle for the button to send messages */
HWND msgs;               /* Handle for static message history control */

target.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(ipaddress);
s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
if(s==INVALID_SOCKET)return false;

if(connect(s,(SOCKADDR *)&target, sizeof(target)) == SOCKET_ERROR)
{
     return false;
}
WSAAsyncSelect(s,hwnd,WINSOCK_MESSAGE,FD_READ|FD_CLOSE|FD_ACCEPT);    
return true;
}
