Yeah... I got it for like $5 new on Amazon. I read all of the bad reviews, but I figured I'd give it a shot anyways. It is pretty bad. The first 100 pages were crap. Now that I have a handle on the proper g++ command line arguments, I think I can get his code working. If not, I'll get the concepts at least.

Anyways, I resolved all of those annoying warnings that pop up when it builds. The all come from his use of 'NULL' in the SocketObject.cpp. Just replace all occurences with '\0' and the warnings will go away. As for running the program... start up the server with:

(progname) server portNum

Then run the client in another console:

(progname) client serverIP portNum

He has basically no error checking in his code as far as command line arguments are concerned, so if you don't put in the right command line arguments, it just won't work.
