Hi there.

problema v chem.. <BR><BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="MS Sans Serif, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">code:</font><HR><pre><BR> struct hostent *hp;<BR> long ip;<BR> if((hp=gethostbyname(name))==NULL)<BR> {<BR> fprintf(stderr,"Can't resolve host.\n");<BR> exit(0);<BR> }<BR> memcpy(&ip,(hp->h_addr),4);<BR> return ip;<BR></pre><HR></BLOCKQUOTE>

Hi.<BR>If that's all you wrote then you forgot WSAStartup which in fact is loading winsock dynamic libraries into your process memory and initializing it so your application can be prepared to call gethostbyname().

The code is following:<BR><BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="MS Sans Serif, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">code:</font><HR><pre><BR> WSADATA wsaData;<BR> if(WSAStartup(0x0101, &wsaData))<BR> {<BR> printf("WSAStartup failed %s\n", WSAGetLastError());<BR> }

// Do your stuff here

...and don't forget to call WSACleanup() once you've done with sockets.
