hi, Does someone knows any win32 libs/headers files for them that is not that good at winsock? plz give some links =)
I don't mean to offend you, but your question seems very unclear to me, I assume english is not your native language. I will assume that you mean something along the lines of: "Does someone knows any win32 libraries for those who are not good with winsock?".

For game programming, there is always the DirectPlay API, which is part of the DirectX SDK. However, I would really advise taking the time to learn how to use sockets, because they are a standard. Nearly all operating systems support a form of sockets. Sockets also are not that complicated, and you will find plenty of tutorials about them around the internet.

It might seem a bit complicated at first, but there are only about 10 essential functions you will need in the winsock API to develop a basic networked application, and for
each of these functions you can find a detailed description on MSDN.

Beej's guide to network programming is also a pretty good resource for learning sockets and network programming. I think it will help you understand the basics of winsock.
