Sorry shakti and thanks for your time.
Actually, i sometimes find it difficult to find certain software on the internet for windows. mostly related to networking. All seem to be for linux. So i wanted to create some myself. Eg. In my office i would like to create a software to find out where exactly there is a connection fault on the network (Dunno if it is possible. I am researching on it.) Since I am not a full time programmer as in itself, I only know C and C++ (also
vb, asp, java etc but they don't count for this purpose) So I wanted to know if it is worthwhile learning python investing my time in it. I hope I am clear.
Ok so i was looking to program in C++ for networking. when i do it in devcpp including winsock2.h and call the gethostname function, it throws some sort of error about an id. I guess I need to use wsastartup or something first. I read that somewhere on the internet in a very simple language but an unable to locate that site now. I would appreciate if could be reminded. Also there was an api guide in chm format which i am trying to locate. Actually i did all this over 18 months ago and so my memory is a bit rusty.
I really don't know if this is the right forum to post this question. If i am in the wrong place, i am open to receive suggestions. Thanks in advance
