heh i know i''m probably annoying you guys but I really need help lol. Then again what''s this forum for? anyways here''s my code:

  
#include <stdio.h>
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <iostream.h>
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
	cout <<"The Nonamed Game Server Version 0.1a\nBy:Matthew Shapiro\n\n";
	sockaddr_in me;
	WSADATA wsaData;
	SOCKET s;
	char *namebuf;
	char *passbuf;
	sizeof(namebuf)[25];
	sizeof(passbuf)[25];
	char username;
	char password;
	int nRet = 0;
	if((nRet = WSAStartup(MAKEWORD(2,0), &wsaData)))
	{
		switch(nRet)
		{
		case WSASYSNOTREADY:
			printf("WSASYSNOTREADY\n");
		case WSAVERNOTSUPPORTED:
			printf("WSAVERNOTSUPPORTED\n");
		case WSAEINPROGRESS:
			printf("WSAEINPROGRESS\n");
		case WSAEPROCLIM:
			printf("WSAEPROCLIM\n");
		case WSAEFAULT:
			printf("WSAEFAULT\n");
	};		return 1;
	}
	s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
    if (s == INVALID_SOCKET)
    {
        printf("socket() failed; %d\n", WSAGetLastError());
        return 1;
    }
	me.sin_family = AF_INET;
	me.sin_port = htons(5151);
	me.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
	cout <<"Testing\n";
	if (bind(s, (SOCKADDR *)&me, sizeof(me)) == SOCKET_ERROR)
	{
		cout <<"bind() failed: ";WSAGetLastError();
		return 1;
}
	int err = recv(s,namebuf,sizeof(namebuf),0);
	if (err==0 || err==INVALID_SOCKET)
	{
		cout <<"Couldn''t recieve username: "<<WSAGetLastError()<<''\n'';
		return 1;
}
	username;
	err = recv(s,passbuf,sizeof(passbuf),0);
	if (err==0 || err==INVALID_SOCKET)
	{
		cout <<"Couldn''t recieve password: "<<WSAGetLastError()<<''\n'';
		return 1;
}
	cout <<"everything works right now\n";
password;
return 1;
}
  

and here are the warnings it''s producing that seem to make it give me the 10014 error: [qoute] E:\Programming\Test\grr.cpp(48) : warning C4700: local variable ''namebuf'' used without having been initialized E:\Programming\Test\grr.cpp(55) : warning C4700: local variable ''passbuf'' used without having been initialized Linking... grr.exe - 0 error(s), 2 warning(s) heh any ideas on how to make this work? (btw my computer seems really screwed up and for some reason doing things like "char *namebuff=new char[25]; hangs the program at startup so that won''t work. Any ideas?

Try:

  char namebuf[25];char passbuf[25];  

nope that also makes the whole program freeze on startup!
