    Winsock help in C

    Hi all,

    Im trying to make a skeleton client server programme using winsock. What i want to do is set the server to listen on port 55555 and then for the client to connect to it with this port and IP address 127.0.0.1 I then want to client to send the string hi and the server to print the string recieved from the client. Thanks for any help

    Oh and I dont want the programmes to exit then, i want them to stay connected. Thanks

    Naturally I didn't feel inspired enough to read all the links for you, since I already slaved away for long hours under a blistering sun pressing the search button after typing four whole words! - Quzah

    Beej's guide is a good intro to Network programming for C programmers, but it is aimed towards Unix-based systems. It doesn't cover winsock.h in great detail. Once you've read the first few chapters of Beej's Guide (which should be all you'll need) go to Google and look for some winsock specific code. The differences are not huge, but they're there. Beej does mention some of the biggest ones.
