Biplab:
You didn't specify any library that should be linked with your app.

igi:
i tried compile with
gcc -o win win.cpp -lwinsock

is it right ??

Well, if it worked, then it would've been right.

Since you're using MinGW's w32api package instead of Microsoft's, though, you'll need to use "-lwsock32" instead. See the .a files in the "lib" subdirectory of your MinGW installation (remember -l stands for "lib").
