I''m new to DirectX programming and I''m doing a breakout clone as a college project. I have to add some network functionality to my game though. I think I''ve got my server up and running. I''ve created my socket, bound it and called WSAAsyncSelect with my own eventID and started listening. I just want to connect my client and send simple messages of 2 integers(that''s all I need). I just need some help connecting to local host to send messages. On the client I''ve created my socket, bound it and called WSAAsyncSelect with my own eventID and I''m trying to connect and it is failing here. Can someone please help? Any help is much appreciated Ciaran
