Thread: Socket wont connect

I'm trying to write my first socket server but i'm running into trouble, when I run the program it wont connect to a socket and i dont know why it's erroring.

Code:

#include <winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main()
{
int status =  0; //Error checker
int sockdis = 0; //Socket Discriptor

struct addrinfo base, *server, *x; //Set up address struct
memset(&base, 0, sizeof base);     //Clean out address struct
base.ai_family = AF_UNSPEC;        //Set address struct's params
base.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;
base.ai_flags = AI_PASSIVE;


/* COLECT ADRESS INFORMATION */
status = getaddrinfo(NULL, "3490", &base, &server);
     if(status <= 0){cout << "Error in: Getaddrinfo() \n"; return 0;}

/* FIND AVALIABLE SOCKET */
for(x = server; x != NULL; x = x->ai_next)
{sockdis = socket(x->ai_family, x->ai_socktype, x->ai_protocol);}
    if(sockdis == -1){cout << "Error in: Socket() \n" ; return 0;}

/* BIND SOCKET TO PORT */
status = bind(sockdis, server->ai_addr, sizeof(server->ai_addrlen));
     if(sockdis <= 0){cout << "Error in: Bind() \n" ;return 0;}


freeaddrinfo(server);

system("pause");
    }//END OF MAIN

I was using perror() however it was returning no error; but sockdis is still returning -1

EDIT: oh i figgured it out, i didnt have WSAstartup initalized :s
