with:

bind(ReceivingSocket, (SOCKADDR *)&ReceiverAddr, sizeof(ReceiverAddr));

Page 33: Error In Code Sample

There is an error in the code sample on page 33.

Page 299: Error In Code Sample

There is an error in the code sample on page 299.

Change:

PCHAR  *addr; 

if (hostent->h_aliases)
{
    addr = hostent->h_aliases = 
    (PCHAR)((DWORD_PTR)hostent->h_aliases + (PCHAR)hostent);
   while (addr)
   {
        addr = (PCHAR)((DWORD_PTR)addr + (PCHAR *)hostent);
        addr++;
    }
}

To:

PCHAR  *addr;

if (hostent->h_aliases)
{
    addr = hostent->h_aliases = 
    (PCHAR)((DWORD)hostent->h_aliases + (PCHAR)hostent);
   while (*addr)
   {
        *addr = (PCHAR)((DWORD)*addr + (PCHAR *)hostent);
        addr++;
    }
}
