Almost got a working server. Two small problems.

[azjherben]

This is a Winsock select() server in C++ (I'm posting in this forum so of course) and I have two problems with it. (title)

1. My select olny returns above 0 when a connect request is recived, the rest of the time it returns -1. So I can olny recive data when another person connects. (Person one connects and sends, but it won't recvive until person 2 connects, and etc.)

2. It will repeat the data over and over again once it is recived.....

I get WSA Error 10038 if that helps.

With this:

if(totals = select((clients[numclients].sock+1),&Reader,NULL,NULL,&tv))
                     {
                     if (totals == -1) {
    error = WSAGetLastError();
    cout<<"Error: "<<error<<"\n";
}
