how to fix: Cannot open include file: 'winsock6.h'

[P2P]

Hi All,

i did compile my project on VC 6 without winsock6.h problem

but if i port to VC2005 then i get this error when compile: Cannot open
include file: 'winsock6.h':

In Tool->Option->VC++ Directories-> Include Files of VC2005 , i added:
$(VCInstallDir)PlatformSDK\include
and
D:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\VC98\Include

But this error still exist.

How can i fix this error on VC 2005?

winsock6.h is not a standard Microsoft platform SDK header file. I wasn't
able to find anything very specific about it, but my guess is that it was
part of an early IPv6 preview implementation. At this point, you should
just be including winsock2.h.
