[AG-TECH] BridgeServer.py question ...

[Michael Miller]

Here's a note from Doug Kosovic regarding the trouble with QuickBridge 
on Windows:

I'm pretty certain that the problem is that QuickBridge.c includes 
winsock.h (i.e Winsock-1) but is linked against Ws2_32.lib (i.e Winsock-2).

So I think the following line:
#include <winsock.h>

needs to be changed to:
#include <winsock2.h>
#include <ws2tcpip.h>

I've had a similar problem with multicast on Windows before with a 
program I wrote.

See the following for more details:

We need to use Windows because the machine is also needed for some other license server software. Does anyone know of a Windows port of Quickbridge or a way to run BridgeServer.py under XP?
