Hello,
     I am trying to connect to a host computer using the WinSock function,
connect, but, the function returns an error of -1.  This error is not
covered in the MSDN help files.  Prior to calling connect, I successfully
created a socket by making the following call: hSock = ::socket(AF_INET,
SOCK_STREAM, 0);.  I then called WSAAsyncGetHostByName (m_hWnd,
WSCB_GETHOST, host, (char FAR *) pm_szBuf, 2048);  which was also
successful.  Any ideas of what I'm not doing correctly?

Sincere Regards,
Tom

Yeah, it is. This is what the docs say:

"If no error occurs, connect returns zero. Otherwise, it returns
SOCKET_ERROR, and a specific error code may be retrieved by calling
WSAGetLastError."

SOCKET_ERROR is defined to be -1.

Regards,
Will
