Hi,

I have a project in which, in one header file, I have:
    #include <winsock2.h>

I cannot compiler the project since I am getting the error:

    [C++ Error] winsock2.h(109): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'fd_set'
    [C++ Error] winsock.h(54): E2344 Earlier declaration of 'fd_set'
    [C++ Error] winsock2.h(112): E2146 Need an identifier to declare
    [C++ Error] winsock2.h(153): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'timeval'

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

S.
