Winsock Error 10014 - WSAEFAULT (Bad Address)

[Daniel]

Hello:
I 've been using the recv() function succesfully in a TCP connection.
But now I inttended to use recvfrom() for UDP data transfers, but I
get error 10014. The recvfrom() function have 2 more OPTIONAL
parameters than the recv() function. So, in order to find the problem,
I tried to use the recvfrom() function with just the same 4 parameters
like the recv() function, and I still getting the Error 10014.
Apparently, the parameters socket, receive buffer, buffer lenght, and
flags are the same for those functions; and the last parameters
(struct sockaddr and struct size) are optional, so it would be the
same to use recv() or recvfrom() with the same parameters...But in the
last function I get the reported error...

Some one knows what it could be wrong?

Thanks in Advance!

Daniel

Do you use NULL for the last two parameters?
