[Dev-C++] Needing help with winsock

[<hor...@te...>]

Hi Everybody,

I have a small problem when initzialising winsock 1.1

Th code I have wrote is as follows:

   WSADATA wsaData;
    LPHOSTENT lpHostEntry;
    LPSERVENT lpServEnt;
    SOCKADDR_IN saServer;
    lpHostEntry =3D gethostbyname("w1.184.telia.com/~u18414535");
    SOCKET Socket;=20

 Socket =3D socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
 if (Socket =3D=3D INVALID_SOCKET)
 {
  MessageBox(NULL,"Unable to create socket","Error", =
MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);=20
 =20
 }

 lpServEnt =3D getservbyname("http", "tcp");
 if (lpServEnt =3D=3D NULL)
  saServer.sin_port =3D htons(80);
 else
  saServer.sin_port =3D lpServEnt->s_port;
 =20

 saServer.sin_family =3D AF_INET;
 saServer.sin_addr =3D *((LPIN_ADDR)*lpHostEntry->h_addr_list);
=20
    int nRet;
    nRet =3D connect(Socket, (LPSOCKADDR)&saServer, =
sizeof(SOCKADDR_IN));
 if (nRet =3D=3D SOCKET_ERROR)
 {
  MessageBox(NULL,"Unable to connect the socket","Error", =
MB_OK|MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);=20
  closesocket(Socket);
 =20
 }

Everything compiles well, but when this code comes in use, I get one og =
these famaus messages "The program has executed an illigeal operation =
and must be terminated".
Why?
Please help me!!!

Thanks in advance!
