Internet Programming for DOS Console

I need to add internet functionality to my DOS Console program for a project i'm doing in class. I need to connect to another client (computer) and be able to chat with the client through DOS Console. I'm pretty sure I can the chat creation part down but I'm not too sure where to begin with the connecting to another client through the consoles part. Is Windows Internet Programming different from Console Internet programming or no cause I don't know the Windows API too well.

:confused: HELP! Thanks in advance!

do a google on 'winsock tutorials' or the like...

Or just check out Beej's Guide.

phew-whack (sound of it half going over my head, half hitting me in the face)
so...much...to take in...brain can't take it. unfortunately that's probably the easiest to understand.

In your user options, turn email notification on and you will receive an email whenever someone else posts in a thread you've posted in. Otherwise, ask them to PM you rather than email.

He said "add functionality" to his console program, not run from console.

KoolFriend:
Winsock will work fine in both a console program and a windowed program, as long as you don't try using WSAAsyncSelect(), because you don't have a message loop in a console. If you aren't familiar with winsock yet, you can read Beej's tutorial (link posted above).

And someone asked what the DOS console was. I answered.

Oh, my bad. I just saw the "Please email at" and ignored the rest of the post :rolleyes:
