Winsock problem

[crazycheetah]

hi.
ok, so I've been learning C++ and recently got into sockets. I was able to successfully find out how to work sockets in Linux, and decided to go onto figuring it out in Windows. To start things off, here's my code so far:

#include <winsock.h>


CSocket::CSocket(){
}
CSocket::~CSocket(){
}

int hSock, Fdbk;

int CSocket::Connect(char *Address, int Port)
{
struct sockaddr_in srvrAddress;
WSADATA wsaData;
if (WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2, 0), &wsaData))
{
return 1;
}
memset(&srvrAddress, 0, sizeof(srvrAddress));
srvrAddress.sin_family = AF_INET;
srvrAddress.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr(Address);
srvrAddress.sin_port = htons(Port);
hSock = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
if (hSock < 0)
{
return 1;
}
Fdbk = connect(hSock, (struct sockaddr *) &srvrAddress, sizeof(srvrAddress));
if (Fdbk<0)
{
return 1;
}
return 0;
}
int CSocket::SendData(char *Data, int Len)
{
Fdbk = send(hSock, Data, Len + 1, 0);
return !Fdbk;
}
int CSocket::GetData(char *buffer)
{
memset(buffer, 0, strlen(buffer) + 1);
recv(hSock, buffer, sizeof(buffer), 0);
if (sizeof(buffer))
{
return 0;
}
else
{
return 1;
}
}
int CSocket::Close()
{
closesocket(hSock);
WSACleanup();
return 0;
}


Now, the problem i'm having is that the connect() is returning -1 and not connecting to the server. Would anyone happen to know what is wrong with this?

thanks a bunch!

Hi,

Use WSAGetLastError() to retrieve the winsock error code. Post the value here and we can go from there.

heh, ok... this is wierd for me.

i did went and put that in my code, and suddenly it worked... i tried taking out and it still worked.... maybe i accidentally changed something else and didn't realise it... but i don't see any changes :rolleyes: well... thanks anyway :)

For people that want help with windows or unix type sockets, I found this guy's guide very helpful in the past:
