There are a number of other helpful web pages out there with Winsock information and code. Here are some that I think you will find most helpful.

If you find a site that you think should be linked here, please pass the URL along. I may not use it because I prefer to keep this list small and focused, but if the site meets my criteria, I'll be happy to add its URL below.

• Sockets.com is the premier starting point for Winsock investigations. Much of its content is based on the book Windows Sockets Network Programming.

• Stardust Technologies hosts the Winsock Channel and the Winsock2 Mailing List Archive. In some ways, it has more information than sockets.com, but it tends to lag behind the leading edge.

• Visual Basic Internet Programming. Pretty straightforward site name, no? :)

• The Acky.net VB TCP page has lots of Visual Basic sample code for networking.

• One of Mike Schmoyer's Visual Basic Tutorials is dedicated to Winsock programming in VB.

• Ed Snible's Windows Sockets Programming has a few gems, but it appears to be dead (i.e. present, but not moving :) ).

• The excellent MFC Programmer's Sourceook site has two sections with some good Winsock code: the Internet and Network Programming sections. The former concentrates on pure Winsock stuff, with a leaning towards MFC-based code. The latter page is broader, covering all sorts of other networking standards, like NetWare and Microsoft RAS.
