    i can't get this code to compile for 64-bit, that isn't really the problem for the first error though.
    #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
    
    #define _WIN32_WINNT 0x0502
    
    #include <tchar.h>
    #include <winsock2.h>

    #include <stdio.h>
    #include <ws2tcpip.h>
    
    #pragma comment (lib, "ws2_32.lib")
    
    int _tmain(int argc, _TCHAR* argv[])
    {
    	WSADATA wsa;
    	ADDRINFO aiHints,*aiEntry,*aiList=NULL;
    	SOCKET s;
    
    	if(--argc == 2) {
    		if((WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,0),&wsa))==ERROR_SUCCESS) {
    			ZeroMemory(&aiHints,sizeof(aiHints));
    
    			aiHints.ai_family   = AF_INET;
    			aiHints.ai_socktype = SOCK_STREAM;
    			aiHints.ai_protocol = IPPROTO_TCP;
    
    			if((getaddrinfo(argv[1],argv[2],&aiHints,&aiList)) == 0) {
    				for(aiEntry=aiList;aiEntry != NULL;aiEntry=aiEntry->ai_next) {
    					if((s=socket(aiEntry->ai_family,aiEntry->ai_socktype,aiEntry->ai_protocol)) != SOCKET_ERROR) {
    						if((connect(s,aiEntry->ai_addr,aiEntry->ai_addrlen)) != SOCKET_ERROR) {
    							wprintf(L"\nconnected...");
    						} else wprintf(L"\nconnect() failed");
    						closesocket(s);
    					}
    				} freeaddrinfo(aiList);
    			} else wprintf(L"\ngetaddrinfo(%s) failed",argv[1]);
    		}
    	} else wprintf(L"\n\tUsage:%s <ip/host> <port>\n",argv[0]);
    	return 0;
    }
    

    Error	1	error C2664: 'WspiapiGetAddrInfo' : cannot convert parameter 1 from '_TCHAR *' to 'const char *'	d:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\tcp\tcp\tcp.cpp	28	
    Warning	2	warning C4267: 'argument' : conversion from 'size_t' to 'int', possible loss of data	d:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\tcp\tcp\tcp.cpp	31
    

    i don't want to cast argv[1] and argv[2] with (const char*) as these are unicode arguements.UNICODE and _UNICODE are defined in the command line.

    i checked the api WspiapiGetAddrInfo
    #define getaddrinfo             WspiapiGetAddrInfo
    

    ...
    int
    WINAPI
    WspiapiGetAddrInfo(
        IN const char                       *nodename,
        IN const char                       *servname,
        IN const struct addrinfo            *hints,
        OUT struct addrinfo                 **res)
    {
    

    but in the platform SDK documentation its defined like
    int getaddrinfo(
      const TCHAR* nodename,
      const TCHAR* servname,
      const struct addrinfo* hints,
      struct addrinfo** res
    );
    

    by the way, i'm using Windows 2003 R2 SDK, anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

    i was using the MSDN 2005 with version of visual studio 2005 pro edition.
    there must be error in docs i have, because on msdn site,the api is defined as:
    int WSAAPI getaddrinfo(
      const char* nodename,
      const char* servname,
      const struct addrinfo* hints,
      struct addrinfo** res
    );
    

    and it goes onto to say anyone programming unicode should use GetAddrInfoW or GetAddrInfo with UNICODE or _UNICODE defined.

    i just downloaded the sp1 sdk,will try it later and see if that works.
    thanks nutjob.
