I get error 10014 when doing sendto()

is getaddrinfo() first parameter correct, can you put there the ip number like that?

    // Resolve the server address and port
    iResult = getaddrinfo("192.168.1.2", "2222", &hints, &result);
    if ( iResult != 0 ) 
	{
        printf("getaddrinfo failed with error: %d\n", iResult);
        WSACleanup();
        return 1;
    }

    // Attempt to connect to an address until one succeeds
    for(ptr=result; ptr != NULL ;ptr=ptr->ai_next) 
	{
        // Create a SOCKET for connecting to server
        ConnectSocket = socket(ptr->ai_family, ptr->ai_socktype, ptr->ai_protocol);

    freeaddrinfo(result);

	char sendbuf[15] = "this is a test";
    // Send an initial buffer

    if (iResult == SOCKET_ERROR) 
	{
        printf("send failed with error: %d\n", WSAGetLastError());
        closesocket(ConnectSocket);
        WSACleanup();
        return 1;
    }

    // cleanup
    closesocket(ConnectSocket);
    WSACleanup();

    return 0;
}

You probably shouldn't do freeaddrinfo() and then use ptr again after already freeing it.

You can find error codes in WinError.h:

//
// MessageId: WSAEFAULT
//
// MessageText:
//
// The system detected an invalid pointer address in attempting to use a pointer argument in a call.
//
#define WSAEFAULT                        10014L

ooohaa thanks wasted a whole day because of that error

Also, you don't want to use sendto() when the socket is already connected. You should use send() on connected sockets.
