connect() returns -1

Hmm...I get a errormessage saying connect() returns -1...
(Yes, thorugh error-checking)

What do this mean?
-1 arent on the MSDN-list of possible errors :confused:

MSDN says connect() returns SOCKET_ERROR if the function fails. SOCKET_ERROR is probably defined as -1. Call WSAGetLastError() to get the actual error code to get more information.

You will find that the errors in all caps, are sometimes a defined error number like

Code:

---

#define ERROR -2
#define OTHERERROR -1

---

Yeah SOCKET_ERROR is defined as -1. So basically yeah you aren't connecting, use WSAGetLastError() to see whats up :). Assuming you are using winsock of course.... oh I am repeating what bithub said... oh well.
