There are a number of other helpful web pages out there that specialize in Winsock. Here are the ones I find most helpful.
Sockets.com is the premier starting point for Winsock investigations.
Stardust Technologies hosts the Winsock Resource Center. In some ways, it has more information than sockets.com, but it tends to lag behind the leading edge.
RamG's VBWinsock Page should be helpful to all of you VB Winsockers out there.
Mark Parity's Internet Programming with Visual Basic page also looks very interesting. In particular, it includes several example client programs, a server program, and a VB definitions file that will let you talk directly to Winsock in VB 4.0 and higher.
Ed Snible's Windows Sockets Programming page is fairly useful. It's fairly dated and basic, but there are occasional gems.
The comp.os.programmer.win32 API FAQ has an Internet Programming page you should check out.
PCAUSA's NDIS FAQ and TDI FAQ will help you work with the layers below Winsock.
Lewis Napper's sockaddr.com is a site built around his book, WinSock 2.0. You don't have to have the book to find useful items here, however. In particular, you may find his source code examples helpful.
