    Sockets

    Ive read loads of tutorials on programming sockets
    in windows but every example ive tried
    doesn't compile properly


    unresolved external symbol _WSAStartup@8


    Code:
    
    #include <winsock.h> 
    
    
    void int()
    {
    
    
    WSADATA info;
    if (WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(1,1), &info) != 0)
      MessageBox(NULL, "Cannot initialize WinSock!", "WSAStartup", MB_OK);
    
    
    }

    My understanding is the code above should
    create a valid winsock connection, but it doesn't


    Im using Visual C++ 6.0 is this the best way to
    use sockets or is there another way

    add wsock32.lib to your project
    Sometimes, the farthest point from the center is the center itself.

    Your life is your canvas, it's only as beautiful as you paint it.
