Winsock tutorial error

New to C++ express, and after follow the winsock tutorial, getting countless of error. Already link the include Windows SDK 7.1 to the properties. What am I missing?

For me, the solution was to defining the directive WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN after including windows and WSA headers, like as following: 

#include <Windows.h>
#include <Winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN

Hope this help someone. :)

Move #include "stdafx.h" to the top. It's failing to find precompiled header file stdafx.h. It's the first error.

When you use precompiled headers, the header file you precompiling them through (in this case stdafx.h) should be always first line in the file (comments are ok).

Also this

#ifndef WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
#endif

should go before the winsock2.h inclusion. This tells compiler not to include too many Windows SDK files to speed up compilation. Putting this after #include <winsock2.h> has no effect.
