I am trying to make 2 programs both in pure win32 api, 1 a server and another a client, the main purpose is to send data between them and also to support multiple clients.
I have searched the internet for tutorials or examples on this but all I find are examples in DOS or MFC, also I was wondering if anyone knows of an easy to use wrapper for Winsock?
Any form of help will be much appreciated, Thanks

Go read the reading list
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.
Check out CodeProject code section for example.
I highly recommend Network Programming for Microsoft Windows, Second Edition by Anthony Jones and Jim Ohmund.

thanx for all the replies guyz
ive gone through all the links, and so far ive found that johnnies winsock tutorial helped me most, the only thing was that he didnt provide any source or examples and thats what im lacking.
if anyone knows of/can provide me with an example program which demonstrates 1 server with the ability to have many clients connect to it and transmit data between them. it would be amazing if it was in Win32 but i wouldnt mind DOS, thanx again and any help would be appreciated

Get this book if you seriously want to learn the WinSock API and how to use it effectively.
You're only going to gleam small pieces of the puzzle using tutorials.
Another good book.
