Recommend a Platform Independent Network Library?
Any recommendations on a platform independent network lib? By platform independant I really only mean linux/windows. I am looking for simplicity over power for now. Oh yes, free too.
Well you could write your own, not sure what you''re looking for. Some people like ACE but personally I think it is really overrated.

HawkNL with its OpenGL-like syntax.
That''s two recommendations for HawkNL from a total of 3 people. I''ll go with HawkNL. Thanks.
I think, if that doesn''t work out for you, there is always SDL_net, if you are using SDL at all in your project, it may be worth it.
If anybody else is interested, HawkNL worked out perfectly. It was a bit lower level than I was looking for but it is very straight forward and documented "well enough" that developing a higher level wrapper took a matter of minutes.

and just to give you a flipside, i tried hawknl once, found it was too difficult to make it work, and wrote my own simple socket wrapper which works perfectly. it took less than a day.
