Lnk2001 unresolved external symbols when calling socket functions

[Maydogg6]

I need a hand with some stubborn link errors.

I'm trying to recreate and old program from 6.0 into .NET, but for some reason when I try to compile I'm getting linking errors for all my function calls that deal with sockets. I've included <winsock2.h> in stdafx.h and I linked to ws2_32.lib by going to project properties->linker->general->additional library directories and typing in ws2_32.lib.

Am I missing some include files or have the wrong library or something to that extent? Perhaps I put the link to the library in the wrong spot in properties or I need to put it in my code somewhere as well. Any feedback would be greatly appreciatted. I'm pasting the errors below.

Thanks,

After a whole lot more searching and trial and error I solved the problem. Turns out I was adding ws2_32.lib in the wrong spot. What I needed to do was go to project properties->linker->Input->Additional Dependancies and add the library there. Hopefully this will help someone else in need.
