Hello, if the subject wasn't clear, I have a problem with winsock using the c language. I have a server and client(TCP) written in c but it doesn't like the sockaddr_in service; and sockaddr_in clientservice; statements. If I compile it in c++ it runs, not giving any errors about this. I believe the error to be that the compiler can not find a reference to sockaddr_in, and can therefor not recognize it. Any thoughts about this? Thanks in advance.

Have a look at the winsock header file. You'll find sockaddr_in is a struct. Therefore in C (but not C++) you need to say struct sockaddr_in service; But you'll probably find there is also a suitable typedef you can use instead of sockaddr_in.

Yeah that worked, thanks very much! Live the life as you know it / Wille
