I"m doing a console app using UDP, now when I compile this code( a tutorial file) I have no errors, but when i build it I get 10 errors this is what i get:

--------------------Configuration: UDP2 - Win32 Debug--------------------

UDP2.exe - 10 error(s), 0 warning(s)

I think I got some linking problems with headers of libraries? this is the file i try to run.

Any tips on what I must to do inorder to run this file??? [edited by - spree on March 3, 2004 5:18:15 PM] [edited by - spree on March 3, 2004 5:19:33 PM]

Try linking against Ws2_32.lib.

How do i do that?

Add it to the linker tab in your project properities.

Thanks for the help it worked!!
