>Description:
Every program which uses the netSocket class of plib seems to be unable to connect to the network. In my opinion this is because of these lines in netSocket.h:

class netAddress                                                                
{                                                                               
  /* DANGER!!!  This MUST match 'struct sockaddr_in' exactly! */                
                                                                                
  short          sin_family     ;                                               
  unsigned short sin_port       ;                                               
  unsigned int   sin_addr       ;                                               
  char           sin_zero [ 8 ] ;             

[...]

This data structure does not match the sockaddr_in of freebsd.


>How-To-Repeat:
#include <plib/netSocket.h>
#include <iostream.h>

main()
{
char msg[50]="blablabla\n";
unsigned int len=25;
const char host[]="127.0.0.1";
int port = 5000;

netInit ();


netSocket *sock = new netSocket () ;
cout << "open " <<  sock -> open ( false ) << "\n";
cout << "blocking " <<  sock -> setBlocking(false) << "\n";
cout << "connect " <<  sock -> connect ( host, port ) << "\n" ;

sock -> send ( msg, len, 0 );
}
