I have just started learning Winsock. I have problem running the first example of winsock then just sits and listens to the port. I am using VC++ 6.0 and here is the code:

Code:
#include <winsock.h>
#include <windows.h>
WSADATA info;
WORD version = MAKEWORD(1,1);
WSAStartup(version, &info);

/* code to establish a socket
 */
SOCKET establish(unsigned short portnum)
{ char   myname[256];
  SOCKET s;
  struct sockaddr_in sa;
  struct hostent *hp;

  memset(&sa, 0, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in)); /* clear our address */
  gethostname(myname, sizeof(myname));        /* who are we? */
  hp = gethostbyname(myname);                 /* get our address info */
  if (hp == NULL)                             /* we don't exist !? */
    return(INVALID_SOCKET);
  sa.sin_family = hp->h_addrtype;             /* this is our host address */
  sa.sin_port = htons(portnum);               /* this is our port number */
  s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, 0);        /* create the socket */
  if (s == INVALID_SOCKET)
    return INVALID_SOCKET;

  /* bind the socket to the internet address */
  if (bind(s, (struct sockaddr *)&sa, sizeof(struct sockaddr_in)) ==
      SOCKET_ERROR) {
    closesocket(s);
    return(INVALID_SOCKET);
  }
  listen(s, 3);                               /* max # of queued connects */
  cout<<myname;
  return(s);

  WSACleanup();
}
The errors that I get are here:

Can you please tell me what I am doing wrong here.

I am now going to sleep and I will check tomorrow : (
