    winsock

    hi i found this code at
    Johnnies winsock tutorial

    Code:
    
    
    
    
    #pragma comment (lib,"wsock32.lib")
    #include <windows.h>
    #include <winsock.h>

    	}

    void ReportError(int errorCode, const char *whichFunc) {
       char errorMsg[92];					// Declare a buffer to hold
    							// the generated error message
       
       ZeroMemory(errorMsg, 92);				// Automatically NULL-terminate the string

       MessageBox(NULL, errorMsg, "socketIndication", MB_OK);
    }


    i get an error that says call to bind() returned error 1048
    1048 is the error# that u can find



    here

    can anyone see whats wrong?

    What part of it dont you understand?
    Address already in use.
    Typically, only one usage of each socket address (protocol/IP address/port) is permitted. This error occurs if an application attempts to bind a socket to an IP address/port that has already been used for an existing socket, or a socket that was not closed properly, or one that is still in the process of closing. For server applications that need to bind multiple sockets to the same port number, consider using setsockopt (SO_REUSEADDR). Client applications usually need not call bind at all—connect chooses an unused port automatically. When bind is called with a wildcard address (involving ADDR_ANY), a WSAEADDRINUSE error could be delayed until the specific address is committed. This could happen with a call to another function later, including connect, listen, WSAConnect, or WSAJoinLeaf.
    It obviously (from the first 2 lines) means the port is probably already doing something. Check you dont already have anything listening on port 888, and that you don't have a firewall or anything stopping applications on that port (or try a port above 1024, like 8090).

    And as to your BTW question, try using the send() or WSASend() function.
