Hi smile.gif
Are there some alternative libraries designed to socket programming, or I am fated to winsock.h ?

Hahahaha...there are some alternatives (many of them are actually just wrappers for the existing socket stuff). Check some of these out:

I was not laughing at you my friend...merely at the memory of my experience the first time I had to use the winsock library. It's a bit of a change after doing all my socket programming on *NIX systems prior to that! smile.gif

Socket programming on *NIX is quite nice in my opinion
