Linker error means it could not combine all the defined functions with the raw code. It means that a header defined a function, it set it up to work with it, but now it needs to see the code that goes with it so it can link it into your executable.

Just include the library Ws2_32.dll in whatever way your compile method requires it.

good luck googling why your lvz image isn't showing up. If you come to us with every compiler error you get you'll never get better
