    Well, my project is dead in the water until I can find another way to convert an int into a socket. Does anyone know of a third party lib I can use in visual c that handles converting ints to sockets?

    There's OpenDoors. http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/src/odoors/?view=tar

    Are you calling WSAStartup()?

    Call him? I never met him! (Sorry, a bit of humor)

    I will look into that.



    Did you check the return value of send()?


    At one point it was returning the correct number of bytes I was expecting.



    Have you looked at any working example code (e.g. sbbs/xtrn/sdk)?



    I don't have an sdk directory so I'll have to go get it, I haven't yet.



    Sorry if the quoting in this message if messed up. I'm entering this on my Android phone.

    #pragma comment(lib, "Ws2_32.lib")
    #include <WinSock2.h>



    Then I have a function that writes data to the socket


    void IOHandler::writeBytes(string line) const
    {

    if (dropfile->commType == 0)
    {
    cout << line;
    }
    else if (dropfile->commType == 2)
    {
    int bytes = ::send((SOCKET)dropfile->handle, line.c_str(), strlen(line.c_str()), 0);
    }
    }




    Are you calling WSAStartup()?



    That was it. I am now sending data over the socket. Now the real work begins. ;-)

    Thanks you so much! I think when I am done I am going to document what I did and spread the word far and wide. (there were a few people askign the same questions as I on Stack Exchange and the answer always seems to be "you can't with winsock". Well, we proved them wrong. \o/

    Have a great evening!

    This is interesting. According to the documentation I managed to find regarding the WSAStartup(), it says I also have to call WSACleanup().

    And according to this:
