c++.windows.32-bits - Which header files for using socket(), etc. on windows?

I've tried all kinds of combinations.  I've done this stuff under
UNIX and with a library for the TI DSP's.  They were easy.  Any
help greatly appreciated.  Feel free to point me to some example
pages or such.

Try:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>

void socket_scs(void)
{
	SOCKET sockfd;

	if ( (sockfd = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP)) < 0)
	{
		printf("socket error\n");
	}

	/* etc... */
}

And compile without -A:
dmc -c -r -i. -DWIN32 -D_inline=inline socket_scs.c

-A (for ANSI C) and windows headers don't mix well.

Rember to call WSAStartup once before trying to open your socket.
