How does Linux connect to the internet?
 

Is the socket system the same as in \/\/I/\/D0\/\/S?

Like, if I coded something on Windoze that I wanted to run on Linux, would I have to remove wsock.h?

Just a tad confusing to me, thanks for any help :D

as far as i know the windows sockets implemenation, is heavily based on the original bsd implementation which is the one linux uses, the socket(), connect(), accept() calls are the same i think, but the functions are defined in different headers. you can check which header by checking the man page of any particular function.

It is very similar, but in Unix filehandles for files and sockets are the same, for Windoze they are not.

I recommend using a frontend mapper like SDL_net.
