i have my fire wall turned off even and i still cant get the client to connect to the server witch are bolth running on my computer.
memset( &sin, 0, sizeof sin );
sin.sin_family = AF_INET;
sin.sin_addr.S_un.S_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
sin.sin_port = htons( 21 );
if ( connect( client,(LPSOCKADDR)&sin, sizeof sin ) == SOCKET_ERROR )
{
/* could not connect to server */
MessageBox(NULL,"Error Connecting","Error",MB_OK);
}

1. in your server.cpp, you bind the socket to the address but you never listen on it (I tried running the server and telnet 127.0.0.1 21 didn't do anything ;) )
So, after the if ( bind(server,... (line 39, server.cpp), add this:
you can always test your server with telnet.
2. in client.cpp, you never call WSAStartup() (you should call it in StartClientNetwork(), before creating the socket).
Also, you are calling WSAAsyncSelect() first then connect(), you should call them the other way around (first call connect() then call WSAAsyncSelect()). And also, you should check for the return from WSAAsyncSelect(), if you did that you would have noticed that it returns WSANOTINITIALISED.
Hope that helps and good luck with your mud.

Well see the thing i was trying to do was make a none blocking server so if i call listen wont it just stay there until it recives a connection ?
