TCPRecv example broken in Windows Vista

[MuffettsMan]

Tryng to learn more about tcp / socket connections the example functions (TCPRecv TCPSend) in the help file work perfectly in 2k however when testing the server on a vista box errors out:

Line 80 (File "c:\example_server.au3"):

Local $aRet = DLLCall("Ws2_32.dll","int","getpeername","int",$SHOCKET,"ptr",DLLStructGetPtr($sockaddr),"int_ptr",DLLStructGetSize($sockaddr))

Error: "long_ptr", "int_ptr" and "short_ptr: DllCall() types have been deprecated. Use "long*", "int*" and "short*" instead.

then crashes.. >.<

the function where line 80 is in the example TCPRecv script is:

; Function to return IP Address from a connected socket.
;----------------------------------------------------------------------
Func SocketToIP($SHOCKET)
    Local $sockaddr = DLLStructCreate("short;ushort;uint;char[8]")

    Local $aRet = DLLCall("Ws2_32.dll","int","getpeername","int",$SHOCKET, _
            "ptr",DLLStructGetPtr($sockaddr),"int_ptr",DLLStructGetSize($sockaddr))
    If Not @error And $aRet[0] = 0 Then
        $aRet = DLLCall("Ws2_32.dll","str","inet_ntoa","int",DLLStructGetData($sockaddr,3))
        If Not @error Then $aRet = $aRet[0]
    Else
        $aRet = 0
    EndIf

    $sockaddr = 0

    Return $aRet
EndFunc

can you simply replace the dll file ehh modify that function to work with vista's version accordingly lol or reinstall xp >.<

for sanity sake i did test the server (TCPRecv Example) on xp and client (TCPSend Example) on vista and that sends fine which again makes me think that its a difference in the dll's...

vista reports:

Ws2_32.dll 174kb version: 6.0.6000.16386

xp:

81kb version: 5.1.2600.2180 (xpsp_sp2.....

look in the help file of 3.2.10.0 at dllcall

long_ptr needs to be changed to long*

and the others respectively

This has already been done for the next version for when that is released.

wow thanks so soo simple i overlooked the obvious...

line 81 is now:

"ptr",DLLStructGetPtr($sockaddr),"int*",DLLStructGetSize($sockaddr))

and it works that int_ptr is the only place i could find anything ptr in the func and it now seems to work without error now to disect and abuse it!

thx again

Hi, I'm new for this (known AutoIt for years but still learning), can anyone help me with a quick dll reading to check Ws2_32.dll's version beacuse I wouldn't really write my code twice, one for Vista one for XP. Or if you have any other idea, please help. Thanks

.... /me nub ... what is filegetversion thingie
