i advice u to start writing socket programmes

r_a_j_e_s_h

if u r using MS VC++. try out the following code. u should add ws2_32.lib in project settings.

#include<windows.h>
#include<winsock.h>
#include<stdio.h>

void main()
{
WSADATA WSAData;
struct sockaddr_in serv;
char senddata[1000],aa[20];
LPTSTR lpszSystemInfo1,lpszSystemInfo2;

WSAStartup (MAKEWORD(1,1), &WSAData);
sockfd=socket(AF_INET,SOCK_STREAM,IPPROTO_TCP);

serv.sin_family=AF_INET;
serv.sin_port=htons(3333);
serv.sin_addr.s_addr=inet_addr("127.0.0.1");

ret=connect(sockfd,(struct sockaddr*)&serv,sizeof(serv));

ret=send(sockfd,senddata,lstrlen(senddata) + 1,0);

}

Nothing has happened on this question in more than 9 months. It's time for cleanup!

My recommendation, which I will post in the Cleanup topic area, is to
split points between adg and Getch.
