basically i want to convert a program i made in vb to c++, and wanted to know how to use winsock (or its equivalent). is there a librry, or a class, or what? what is the syntax for basic functions, and is it possible to use in a console app? I ask this only because i am used to event-driven programming in regards to winsock. Some help would be appreciated. thx.

  i'm sorta working along those lines too... some useful links on winsock programming, esp the first one:
  
  http://tangentsoft.net/wskfaq/ - winsock2 programming faq, very good resource
  http://www.ecst.csuchico.edu/~beej/guide/net/html/ - beej's guide
  http://www.csee.usf.edu/~christen/tools/toolpage.html#tcpip - code samples
  http://www.sockets.com/winsock2.htm - winsock2 mailiing list
  
  good luck, it's fun stuff (yes, that's precisely the opposite of what i meant ;P i'm currently wussing out and using indy socket components in bcbuilder6 instead)
