I am not sure if this is the correct group but here goes.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I have the following struct:

struct PlayerData {
                struct sockaddr_in addr;
                int fd;
                }Player[5];

I need to pass a pointer to accept();  to Player[variable].addr

i.e.   ....        accept(sockfd, (struct
sockaddr_in *)Player[variable].addr, &addr_length);

variable is already set as type int and  addr_length = sizeof(struct
sockaddr_in)

I am getting the following errors using gcc on Linux 2.0.30

.cannot convert pointer to type
.warning: passing arg 2 of 'accept' from incompatible pointer type

I admitedly am very new to pointers and still have problems, any help
would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

A pointer is generated with the "&" operator.  Just like you did with
addr_length.

accept(sockfd, &Player[variable].addr, &addr_length);

Try this:

accept(sockfd, &(Player[variable].addr), &addr_length);
