Borland CBuilder6 and library files.

I have this problem with Borland cbuilder 6
i'm using WSASocket to create a tcp/ip socket.

SOCKET s = WSASocket(  AF_INET,
                                   SOCK_STREAM,
                                   IPPROTO_IP,
                                   NULL,
                                   0,
                                   WSA_FLAG_OVERLAPPED);

But when compiling, i get the error:

[Linker Error] Unresolved external 'WSASocketA' referenced from U:\TCP.OBJ

I've tried looking to add the appropriate winsock library file into the
project, but i can't seem to find a way.

Any help is appreciated.

Requirements:
Header Declared in Winsock2.h.
Library Link to Ws2_32.lib.
DLL Requires Ws2_32.dll.

have you linked to Ws2_32.lib?

I had to add ws2_32.lib to the project from the menu Project->Add to project.
Working now.
Thanks anyway sjones.
