I was following this tutorial http://www.win32deve...tutorial_1.shtm and finally wanted to test whole code:
#include <iostream>
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <errno.h>
#pragma comment(lib,"ws2_32.lib")
int main()
{
// Initialise Winsock
WSADATA WsaDat;
if(WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,2),&WsaDat)!=0)
{
std::cout<<"Winsock error - Winsock initialization failed\r\n";
WSACleanup();
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
// Create our socket
SOCKET Socket=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,IPPROTO_TCP);
if(Socket==INVALID_SOCKET)
{
std::cout<<"Winsock error - Socket creation Failed!\r\n";
WSACleanup();
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
// Resolve IP address for hostname
struct hostent *host;
if((host = gethostbyname("localhost"))==NULL)
{
std::cout<<"Failed to resolve hostname.\r\n";
WSACleanup();
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
// Setup our socket address structure
SOCKADDR_IN SockAddr;
SockAddr.sin_port=htons(8888);
SockAddr.sin_family=AF_INET;
SockAddr.sin_addr.s_addr=*((unsigned long*)host->h_addr);
// Attempt to connect to server
if(connect(Socket,(SOCKADDR*)(&SockAddr),sizeof(SockAddr)) == -1)
{
std::cout<<"Failed to establish connection with server\r\n"<<WSAGetLastError();
WSACleanup();
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
// Display message from server
char buffer[1000];
memset(buffer,0,999);
int inDataLength=recv(Socket,buffer,1000,0);
std::cout<<buffer;
// Shutdown our socket
shutdown(Socket,SD_SEND);
// Close our socket entirely
closesocket(Socket);
// Cleanup Winsock
WSACleanup();
system("PAUSE");
return 0;
}
However, I'm getting error 10061 all the time, which means connection refused. I'm totally confused with this winsock. All tutorials are either obsolete, only unix or incomplete... I tried switching off my firewall and anti vir but that didn't help. Does anyone know why can't I connect to my localhost? I would be really garteful for help! And please don't hesitate to provide any advice as I'm really totally inexperienced with network programming.
