Yet Another Linker Error When Using Winsock

Hey,

I'm trying to send a HTTP request using Winsock and I'm getting a rather beautiful linker error stating the following:

My code is here:

Main CPP File

// MAIN.CPP

#include "stdio.h"
#include "Connector.h"

using namespace std;

int main()
{
	Connector conn;
	string request;
	string response;

	request+= "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n";
	request+= "Host: www.google.com\r\n";
	request+= "\r\n";

	conn.init();
	response = conn.sendRequest("74.125.228.38",request);
	printf(response.c_str());
	system("PAUSE");
}

	string response = "";
	int recvbuflen = DEFAULT_BUFLEN;
	char recvbuf[DEFAULT_BUFLEN];

	// Exit the function if the socket failed to connect
	if (sock == INVALID_SOCKET)
		return "ERROR: COULD NOT CONNECT SOCKET";

	// Send a request to the server; Print error if relevant.
	iResult = send(sock, request.c_str(), request.length(), 0);

	}

	// Receive response from server

		else if (iResult == 0)
			printf("Connection closed\n");
		else
			printf("recv failed: %d\n", WSAGetLastError());
	} while (iResult > 0);

	// Cleanup
    closesocket(sock);
    WSACleanup();

	return response;
}

Things I've Tried:
It's limited seeing as I have little to no clue what is going on. I did try to comment out the code in the sendRequest() function and this did not work. However, commenting out the calling of that function in Main.cpp makes the error go away.

I had the same problem before with the init() method in Connector.cpp, but not with connect() in the same file...

From what I understand, the error is caused by a library not being linked correctly. However, my code is strongly based on this MSDN tutorial and I have added the three #pragma statements I need in Connector.h.

Any help is appreciated, so thanks to anyone who looks over this!

Cbeppe.
