Ok, Iv'e read tutorials and man pages and I'm still lost. Im tryng to set up a socket to accept telnet connections. Heres what Ive got so far #include <sys/socket.h> int main() { int MySocket = socket(PF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0); return 0; } I cant figure out how to bind. I don`t know what to enter in for const struct *my_addr Any help would be greatly appreciated

This might help:

Go to that site and grab the Echo TAR.GZ file (it's near the bottom). It has a full example for a simple socket application.

actually I cant download things... but thanks anyways...

I learned sockets from Beej's guide. It's by far the best simple guide that I've seen, and once you've learned everything on those pages, the manpages should be enough for anything else you need.

Heres some simple code
