	This example does not work. WS_Connect cannot find entry point in dll



	A.M. \| 2006-05-15 16:11:30


	Replace line nResult = ws_connect(hSocket, @cBuffer, Len(cBuffer)) with DECLARE INTEGER WSAConnect IN ws2_32; INTEGER s, STRING @sname, INTEGER namelen,; INTEGER lpCallerData, INTEGER lpCalleeData,; INTEGER lpSQOS, INTEGER lpGQOS nResult = WSAConnect(hSocket, @cBuffer, Len(cBuffer), 0, 0, 0, 0) It may work better.
