UDP Help
Author
Hi, I have just begun working on my networking class for my game, and here is what I have so far. UDP is new to me, and Sockets are not new, but I have not used them too much.
Anyway, here is what I have so far in my networking header file, I am wondering if anyone could point what what I am doing wrong, and what I need to do.
You aren't checking error values... they will at least tell you what function is messing up.
You need to set up SOCKADDR_IN structures with the IP and port. Use inet_addr() to convert your const char* into a 4-byte ip. Check MSDN for more info on that stuff.

First off, everything blaze02 said!
Second, are you sure you're putting everything in network byte order? Some systems don't require it, but it doesn't hurt to try (at least with my experience).

SO_BROADCAST only works on the local subnet unless there is additinal hardwar to support it at the higher levels of network hierarchy
You might also want a DisconnectFromServer() to do cleanup.....

I have updated connect to this:
but the struct addrinfo is causing problems.
Compiling...

Here's what MSDN has to say about addrinfo:
Client Requires Windows XP, Windows 2000 Professional, Windows NT Workstation, Windows Me, Windows 98, or Windows 95.
Server Requires Windows Server 2003, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows NT Server.
Header Declared in Ws2tcpip.h.
Declared in Wspiapi.h on Windows 2000, Windows NT, and Windows Me/98/95.
Unicode Implemented as ADDRINFOW (Unicode) and ADDRINFOA (ANSI).
Pay special attention to the "declared in" part.

Wait... I cant run a server using that UDP code unless its being run on windows server?
No, that's not what the text says. Read it again. Especially this part: Header Declared in Ws2tcpip.h..
