C++\Winsock - Sending std out messages problem

Hi,
I've been having trouble recently with sending messages to a client.
The client seems to be recieving the sever output (in the console).
This has completely done me in.

I have noticed it is to do with the buffer size.
For example:
Would send ' signed in.'.
And when I do somthing like this:
Would show something liek:

'beta 6

Adam signed in.'

Where 'beta 6' is displayed in the server console, and strangely gets put into send() function.

Also, this worked perfectly over a LAN connect, but not over a WAN connection.
All required ports are opend and forwarded properly.

Is this my cheesy scripting? or a fixable common error?

Can someone please help me with this.

If the data is not getting there it is much more likely to be a connection error than a send error.

How did you connect? Was it successful (i.e. not returned errors or error callbacks)?
What were the return values of your send function calls?

Thanks for posting,
I never seemed to check for send errors, I see what they return...

Bit of a bump...
I made a flash client for it as well.
But, its very odd, it displays data that even hasnt been echoed by the server.
So, Most likely a send() error.

What is the best method of using send?
send(socket, "hello", sizeof "hello", 0),
send(socket, string, sizeof string, 0),
send(socket, "hello", 1000, 0),
or send(socket, string, 1000 , 0); ?

Please?
Could the environment affect its behaviour?
It works fine on local host, just not on another pc...
