    hi when i use
    CreateThread(0,0, Client, 0, 0,&lpThreadID3);
    on

    DWORD WINAPI Client(void)
    {

    theClient = accept(hSocket,NULL,NULL);
    if (theClient == INVALID_SOCKET) {
    printf("Error at accept()");
    WSACleanup();
    return 0;
    }


    }


    i get this error in msvc++, im even following an example from msdn. can you help me?

    F:\C++\newprojects\Winsck\Server\Servermain.cpp(62) : error C2664: 'CreateThread' : cannot convert parameter 3 from 'unsigned long (void)' to 'unsigned long (__stdcall *)(void *)'
    None of the functions with this name in scope match the target type.
