This means that the MIDL compiler cannot recognize "SOCKET". Actually when you look at the declaration of SOCKET in WINSOCK.H, it is declared this way

Code:

---

typedef unsigned int    u_int;
typedef u_int          SOCKET;

---

So in this way, SOCKET is just a C 32 bit unsigned int. So you will do is just change your declaration to long

Code:

---

AcceptConnections(long sock);

Hope it will help you
