Hey, I have been following this tutorial: Here But I have a question as to once I get it listening, which everything works so far, when I try to connect, I get 3 errors: error C2664: 'connect' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'struct sockaddr_in' to 'const struct sockaddr *' No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called error C2664: 'accept' : cannot convert parameter 2 from 'struct sockaddr' to 'struct sockaddr *' No user-defined-conversion operator available that can perform this conversion, or the operator cannot be called error C2065: 'startThread' : undeclared identifier Error executing cl.exe. My code is as follows

WSADATA wsaData;
		int numClients = 0;

		// Initialize Winsock
		iResult = WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,2), &wsaData);
			
		if (iResult != 0) 
		{		
			printf("WSAStartup failed: %d\n", iResult);
			return 1;
		}
		else
		{	
			printf("WSAStartup success!\n");

			SOCKET s = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); // Create socket
			
			sockaddr_in addr; // the address structure for a TCP socket
			int addr_size = sizeof (sockaddr);

			addr.sin_family = AF_INET;      // Address family Internet
			addr.sin_port = htons (PORT);   // Assign port to this socket
			addr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl (INADDR_ANY);   // No destination

			if (bind(s, (LPSOCKADDR)&addr, sizeof(addr)) == SOCKET_ERROR)
			{ // error
				 WSACleanup ();  // unload WinSock
				 cout << "ERROR" << endl;
				 return 0;         // quit
			}
			else
			{
				cout << "Socket now bound." << endl;

				if (listen(s,MAXPLAYERS)==SOCKET_ERROR)
				{ // error!  unable to listen
					WSACleanup ();
					cout << "ERROR" << endl;
					return 0;
				}
				else
				{
					cout << "Server is listening..." << endl;
					
					sockaddr_in target;
					target.sin_family = AF_INET;           // address family Internet
					target.sin_port = htons (PORT);        // set server’s port number
					target.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr ("69.169.48.222");  // set server’s IP

					if (connect(s, target, sizeof(target)) == SOCKET_ERROR)
					{ // an error connecting has occurred!
						WSACleanup ();
						return 0;
					}


					SOCKET client[1000];        // socket handles to clients
					sockaddr client_sock[1000]; // info on client sockets

					while (numClients < MAXPLAYERS) // let MAX_CLIENTS connect
					{
						client[numClients] =  // accept a connection
						accept (s, client_sock[numClients], &addr_size); 
							if (client[numClients] == INVALID_SOCKET)
							{ // error accepting connection
								WSACleanup ();
								return 0;
							}
							else
							{	// client connected successfully
								// start a thread that will communicate with client
								startThread(client[numClients]);
								numClients++;
							}
					}
				}
			}
		}

Thank you, but I got even more errors;

I tried replacing my connect with:

connect(SOCK,(struct sockaddr*) &sock_addr, sizeof( sock_addr ))

But replacing SOCK with s, my socket object.



Edit: including the startThread? Where can I find it.. on the page there is nothing on ther except for the use of it, so I thought it was defined in winsock.

Ahhhh, I absolutely love you! I figured the start thread was my own thing, sorry!
