I don't know how buggy it is - it does what it's documented to do. It's a very simple designed wrapper around the Winsock APIs. It works fine for simple socket tasks (on one thread). If you need performance you'll need asynchronous communications. You can use the CAsyncSocket - it works pretty well and it's a very thin wrapper around the socket APIs so you could use straight APIs almost as easily. The important thing is to know how sockets work and how to use the APIs. Then the MFC classes will make more sense and you'll be able to use them effectively. The source code for those classes is the ultimate documentation, and it's relatively easy to read. Mark Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ :java:
