yep, everything worked before.

I didn't change any settings or install anything. i just went to sleep one night with it working fine, and next day it was kaput.
would a program change stuff for no reason at all overnight?
i doubt it...

The error message appears after 'initializing sockets'

thankee~~

So you get the error when you run the server, not when you compile? Is this output from SMAUG? Can you paste the text up until that point? What about the source code that outputs that error? We can't help you unless you're more specific and give more information.

And no, things don't just break overnight for no reason. Not even on Windows.

Chances are that there is something much more broken, and removing all network code - an extremely daunting task in and of itself - may not fix your problem.

nothings wrong with it when it compiles. It's something wrong with my computer not the code.

here's the output anyway:

Fri Feb 13 16:59:34 2004 :: Initializing socket
Init_socket: socket: Address family not supported by protocol

and it does the same on freshly downloaded source code

and here's where the error come from:
int init_socket( int port )
{
char hostname[64];
struct sockaddr_in sa;
int x = 1;
int fd;
gethostname(hostname, sizeof(hostname));
if ( ( fd = socket( AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0 ) ) < 0 )
{
perror( "Init_socket: socket" );
exit( 1 );
}
if ( setsockopt( fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR,
(void *) &x, sizeof(x) ) < 0 )
{
perror( "Init_socket: SO_REUSEADDR" );
closesocket( fd );
exit( 1 );
}
#if defined(SO_DONTLINGER) && !defined(SYSV)
{
struct linger ld;
ld.l_onoff = 1;
ld.l_linger = 1000;
if ( setsockopt( fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_DONTLINGER,
(void *) &ld, sizeof(ld) ) < 0 )
{
perror( "Init_socket: SO_DONTLINGER" );
closesocket( fd );
exit( 1 );
}
}
#endif
memset(&sa, '\0', sizeof(sa));
sa.sin_family = AF_INET;
sa.sin_port = htons( port );
if ( bind( fd, (struct sockaddr *) &sa, sizeof(sa) ) == -1 )
{
perror( "Init_socket: bind" );
closesocket( fd );
exit( 1 );
}
if ( listen( fd, 50 ) < 0 )
{
perror( "Init_socket: listen" );
closesocket( fd );
exit( 1 );
}
return fd;
}

...

and i've removed all network code and it actually starts up and runs. I know it runs because it's showing the reset messages, only now i can't log in, of course.

i'm going to reinstall it with windows 95 cus that's the disk i have, i hope nothing on my computer needed 98 . . .
<sigh>

~~thankee for the help~~

You could always install Linux. Recent versions have an installer that is as easy to use as the Windows installer, and the MUD will be a lot more reliable.
