    I have this problem with Borland cbuilder 6
    i'm using WSASocket to create a tcp/ip socket. 
    SOCKET s = WSASocket(  AF_INET,
                                   SOCK_STREAM,
                                   IPPROTO_IP,
                                   NULL,
                                   0,
                                   WSA_FLAG_OVERLAPPED);
    But when compiling, i get the error:

    [Linker Error] Unresolved external 'WSASocketA' referenced from U:\TCP.OBJ

    I've tried looking to add the appropriate winsock library file into the
    project, but i can't seem to find a way.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Requirements:
    Header Declared in Winsock2.h.
    Library Link to Ws2_32.lib.
    DLL Requires Ws2_32.dll.

    have you linked to Ws2_32.lib?
