Re: winsock apps ?
Winsock is MS term for socket based application.
A Socket application is any software is using the "socket" for TCP/IP comunication (the standard use in Internet).
Your question is very dubt because winsock or socket application are named at source code; however everey windows application use TCP/IP is potentially a winsock-based application.
H.T.H.

Re: winsock apps ?
I can't understand your question.
Proxy server is a host conneted to internet to send and receive socket instead your direct host; it's used to hide the real host and so protect from external hacker.
Please, specify what type of application you need.

SolutionSocks Proxy is a special type of proxy server that handles other stuff in addition to webservices, but the same concept applies.
Winsock is microsofts name for Windows TCP/IP Sockets, as previously mentioned. winsock was an addon to win95 and win31, but has been part of the os since then.

Re: winsock apps ?
Many Thanks for continous feedbacks Antoniov. Dear Antoniov now I want to know abt what are "SOCKS Proxy" servers, and which type of ip-based apps required sock proxy server. I know the role of proxy servers, but I m not clear abt socks proxy and or socks proxy server. Ok I m giving u a clue,
msn-messenger->Tools->Options->Connections->I use a proxy server->Type->SOCK version 4/5
Dear Thomas Bianco i highly appreciate u for the feedback n support. Could u pleaze named one or two services other than the webservices that require SOCKS proxy server. I mean let me know 1 or 2 services that require socks proxy server. Or in other words whats the special role of Socks proxy server?
I hope i have cleared my question.
Many Thanks in Anticipation
Best Regards
Sharfuddin

Re: winsock apps ?
as i know, there is no application that REQUIRES a socks proxy. there are many applications that work better with socks proxies over a more traditional http proxy, including msn messenger.

Re: winsock apps ?
sorry for delay answer I was busy.
Thomas posted right, there are no specific software request proxy.
As written in my previous post, proxy server is used to protect PC from external hack; hacker use proxy to hide their own PC when attack other.
Please don't use proxy to attack other PC ;-)
