stupid winsock...

[Pyroguy]

i'm just starting experimenting with winsock... but i've been having a problem with the accept function... for some reason i can't figure out it gives me a cannot convert `bool' to `int*' for argument `3' to ` on line 37... can anyone help??? oh yeah this is the server by the way

code:

#include <iostream> #include <winsock.h> #define PORT 5000 using namespace std; int main () {     WSAData wsaData;     if (WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(1,1), &wsaData) != 1)     {         fprintf(stderr, "WSAStartup failed.\n");         exit(1);     }     int mysock = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);     int list_sock;     struct sockaddr_in sockinfo;     struct sockaddr_in theirsockinfo;     sockinfo.sin_family = AF_INET;     sockinfo.sin_port = htons(PORT);     sockinfo.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);     memset(&(sockinfo.sin_zero),'\0',8);     if (bind(mysock, (struct sockaddr*)&sockinfo, sizeof(struct sockaddr)) != 0)     {         fprintf (stderr, "Error binding socket.\n");         exit(1);     }     if (listen(mysock, 10) != 0)     {         fprintf(stderr, "Error listening on socket... isn't bu gay?.\n");         exit(1);     }     int sinsize;     int datasend, datalen;     char* data;     sinsize = sizeof(struct sockaddr_in);         if (list_sock = accept(mysock, (struct sockaddr*)&theirsockinfo, &sinsize != 0)     {         fprintf(stderr, "Could not accept request\n");         exit(1)     }     while(1)     {         cin<<data<<endl;         datalen = strlen(data);         if (datasend = send(list_sock, data, datalen, 0) != 0)         {              fprintf(stderr, "Could not send data\n");              exit(1);         }         if (data == "close")         {                 if (socketclose(list_sock) != 0)                 {                                 fprintf(stderr,"Error closing socket");                                 exit(1);                 }                 if (socketclose(mysock) != 0)                 {                                 fprintf(stderr,"Error closing socket");                                 exit(1);                 }                 break;         }     }        if (WSACleanup() != 0)     {         fprintf(stderr, "WSACleanup failed.\n");         exit(1);     }     return 0; }

hm... from what i see, i have little to no idea about what's going on. my attempts at learning winsock was somewhat succesful even though the program didn't serve it's purpose (curse you stupid school firewall, curse you!). but the way i 'learned' winsock (winsock2 actually) it was used differently. try checking out the networking tutorials at www.gametutorials.com they're really good.

yeah i finally found out what my problem was... i didn't have enough )'s to match up with my ('s. on the accept line.. i hate it when that happens....
