I have some xp machines that I need to network together. Each of the machines has to send out data packets to a master machine. I am planning on tcp/ip across the network with the server program on the master and the client on the other machines. What I would like to do, is to have the client code send the information via packets to the server app on the server machine.<br />
Would like to do this in c++ cpp as that I have already written the client machines software. Originally these were stand alone apps but we need to link them for data management.<br />
I have found an open source tcp/ip library on the web, komodia. However, was wondering if there are alternatives via winsock api and basic documentation to get me on my way. Everytime I try something new I feel again like a newb...<br />

Thanks in advance.<br />

Windows XP, tcp/ip client to server app code?

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.

TCP/IP

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.

C++ is an intermediate-level general-purpose programming language, not to be confused with C or C#. It was developed as a set of extensions to the C programming language to improve type-safety and add support for automatic resource management, object-orientation, generic programming, and exception handling, among other features.
