I've installed the platform sdk. and the linker errors are about something called symbols

if the remote computer is connected to a router you will have to setup port forwarding on the router. E.G. something that wont work: ---------------------------- Remote computer(client) | Router(without port forwarding) | Remote computer(server) ----------------------------- something that will work: ----------------------------- Remote computer(client) | Router(with port forwarding) | Remote computer(server) -----------------------------

I've looked at all the tutorials for using tcp and sockets with C++. But all of them either give me code errors or linker errors when I try to compile and test the example programs. Does anyone know of a tutorial that works? oh yea I'm using Visual C++ 2005 express edition.

I've looked at many tutorials on this site. and none of them work(-_-") all the examples give compile errors

can anyone explain how to use tcp in C++ I've looked at a million sites and a million tutorials and every single one doesn't work.
