Hello ppl.... I''m a complete nweby of networking and I''m trying to undertand how to do multiplayer....

#include <windows.h>
#include  

void abc(char *p)
{
      FILE *fp=fopen("z.txt","a+");
	fprintf(fp,"%s\n",p);
	fclose(fp);
}

WNDCLASS a; HWND b; MSG c; char aa[200]; SOCKET s; struct hostent h;
WSADATA ws; DWORD e; int ii,dw; char bb[100]; struct sockaddr_in Sa;

long _stdcall zzz (HWND,UINT,WPARAM,LPARAM);

int _stdcall WinMain(HINSTANCE i,HINSTANCE j,char *k,int l)
{
	a.lpszClassName="a1";
	a.hInstance=i;
	a.lpfnWndProc=zzz;
	a.hbrBackground=(HBRUSH)GetStockObject(WHITE_BRUSH);
	RegisterClass(&a);
	b=CreateWindow("a1","time client",WS_OVERLAPPEDWINDOW,1,1,10,20,0,0,i,0);
	ShowWindow(b,3);
	while ( GetMessage(&c,0,0,0) )
		DispatchMessage(&c);
	return 1;
}

long _stdcall zzz (HWND w,UINT x,WPARAM y,LPARAM z)
{
if ( x == WM_LBUTTONDOWN)
{	
	e=WSAStartup(0x0101,&ws);
	sprintf(aa,"e = %ld",e);
	abc(aa);
	s = socket(PF_INET,SOCK_DGRAM,0);
	sprintf(aa,"s = %ld",s);
	abc(aa);
	Sa.sin_family=AF_INET;
	Sa.sin_addr.s_addr = inet_addr("127.0.0.1");
	Sa.sin_port=htons(13);
	strcpy (bb,"hello how are you");
	e=sendto(s,bb,100,0,(struct sockaddr *)&Sa,sizeof(Sa));
	sprintf(aa,"SendTo %ld",e);
	int dw = sizeof(Sa);
	recvfrom(s,bb,100,0,(sockaddr *)&Sa,&dw);
	MessageBox(0,bb,"data from server",0);
	MessageBox(0,"end","end",0);
}

if ( x == WM_DESTROY)
	PostQuitMessage(0);
return DefWindowProc(w,x,y,z);
} 

Ok, this is the code that I get from a tut (http://www.vijaymukhi.com/vmis/wsockexp.htm) and I''m reading it. It craches at line: recvfrom(s,bb,100,0,(sockaddr *)&Sa,&dw); and I don''t jnow why..... Anyway, I even don''t know what a hell this code should do!!!!! Filami Techno Grooves

The code is trying to send a message to itself (127.0.0.1) and then receive it. The problem is, the socket needs to be bound to a specific port before receiving anything. To fix this, insert this anywhere in your code before the recvfrom():

SOCKADDR_IN addrBind;
addrBind.sin_family = AF_INET;
addrBind.sin_port = htons(13);
addrBind.sin_addr = INADDR_ANY;
bind(s, (sockaddr *) &addrBind, sizeof(addrBind));

That will bind the socket to the port 13 which means that it''ll receive messages sent to this port.
For more info on winsock, check out my tutorial at http://frenchwhales_site.tripod.com

Joey

addrBind.sin_addr = INADDR_ANY;

error C2679: binary ''='' : no operator defined which takes a right-hand operand of type ''unsigned long'' (or there is no acceptable conversion)

Oops, sorry, it's:
addrBind.sin_addr.s_addr = INADDR_ANY;

I suggest you to use SDL and SDL_net, they are very easy, portable, have some source code, etc.
