Is this for a school/university project or for work?<br>
<br>
if work=true then use_mswinsock_ocx // good howto in help<br>
else you_have_your_work_cut_out=true // Hmmm...<br>
<br>
The &quot;White Book&quot; (Unix Network Programming, I think it's called) is a good solid introduction to a difficult subject and the TCP section applies to all platforms rather than just to Unix.<br>

To send data over tcp/ip you can use the winsock.dll that is provided in any modern OS. If you want to get really low level, you can look at the actual code that is used in tcp/ip. This is only provided in a free open source unix or linux compiler. Somebody was nice enough to put this up on the web at <A HREF="

look in the netinet directoy. If you need a sample program that does this like a packet sniffer or a syn flooder or something, the easiest site to find the c files for those are at <A HREF="

There is a book on Networking by Stevens. This would definitely help you. <br>
