linking errors with winsock.h

[durango1]

Do any of you have experience using the WinSock API? I am getting a linker error and cannot figure out what is wrong. I have checked the file locations out and made sure I have the correct directories specified for the linker.

Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Here is some of the error output:
Linking...
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WSACleanup@0
error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _WSAStartup@8
fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals

Doug,

That is a Winsock 2 call.

Requirements
Version: Requires Windows Sockets 1.1 or later.
Header: Declared in Winsock2.h.
Library: Use Ws2_32.lib.

Hope this helps

Using Windows 95 or earlier. Do the following in your VC project:

Go to Projects, Settings, Link, Object/library modules, add "wsock32.lib".

Thanks for the input! After I initially posted my problem, I did try placing the library in the link list itself and that worked. I am still a little confused as to why it did not want to link before when I did have the directory specified in the list if library directories.

But, it is working now. Thanks for the help!
