    Considering that the client variable in Socks4ClientThread is uninitialised, I'm surprised it gets that far
    If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
    If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.

    I'd have said pass it as a parameter from one function to another.

    allright, thanks for replying, i did the following now;
    Code:
    DWORD WINAPI Socks4ClientThread(LPVOID pParam)
    and
    Code:
    SOCKET client=(SOCKET)pParam;
    but how should I call the function now,
    Code:
    Socks4ClientThread("something"); // I dunno what i have to fill here

    Since you're not actually using threads or anything (despite the names), and just calling functions directly, you may as well have

    void Socks4ClientThread(SOCKET client); // prototype

    Socks4ClientThread(client); // call


    void Socks4ClientThread(SOCKET client) // definition

    And lose the local variable of the same name in that function.

    thanks everything looks fine now, but for some reason it hangs at this line

    Code:
    if (connect(outbound, (SOCKADDR *)&target_in, sizeof(target_in)) == SOCKET_ERROR)
    any ideas what it can be?

    It is not hanging. Probably the server to which you are trying to connect, is not running. connect() has sent the SYN and waiting for SYN-ACK from server. If it does not receive SYN-ACK from server till the SYN timout period, it will return with error. The timeout period is different on different platforms. Like on linux/bsd it is 72 secs usually. You can change the socket timeout using setsockopt()

    Here is one way to do it

    Code:
    void setsockettimeout()
    {
            struct timeval tv;
    
            tv.tv_sec = 30; /* timeout in 30 Secs */
    
            setsockopt(sockid, SOL_SOCKET, SO_SNDTIMEO,(struct timeval *)&tv,sizeof(struct timeval));
            setsockopt(sockid, SOL_SOCKET, SO_RCVTIMEO,(struct timeval *)&tv,sizeof(struct timeval));
    
            return;
    }
