Hi,
The error is here

//Listen a socket///
int listen(sock,5); //why there is a int befor listen call.
//remove that and the program can compile properly.
 
 

Thanks

Hi,

The problem in 'int listen(sock,5)' is the way it is used.

It should be
int listn;
listn = listen(sock,5)

Hope this will work fine.
