Hello All,

I am trying to send a string over TCP and believe i am having fundamental
understanding problems... 

The code i am trying to cobble together (based upon
http://www.nongnu.org/lwip/) is:

        struct tcp_pcb *pcb;

        

        static char indexdata[] = "DAVE";


        pcb = tcp_new();                                        /* Create a new 
TCP PCB. */

        tcp_bind(pcb, NULL, 44444);                             /* Bind the PCB 
to TCP port 80. */

        tcp_connect(pcb,0xC0A821AF,55555,tcp_write(pcb, indexdata,
sizeof(indexdata), 1));

        

        tcp_close(pcb);


a few questions:

- what is a PCB (Protocol Control Block) and what is it for? is it just a
unique reference number for the specific connection?


- the code compiles correctly but when run gives a SIGSEGV fault :


Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

0x02005d48 in tcp_connect (pcb=0x2013d90, ipaddr=0xc0a821af, port=55555, 

    connected=0xfffffffa) at ../lwip/src/core/tcp.c:425

425         pcb->remote_ip = *ipaddr;





Im sorry to be asking such a stupid question, I hope you can help!

Dave xx
