You want to cast the sockaddr_in to a sockaddr, as in

>	if (connect(SocketDescriptor, (struct sockaddr *) &SocketInetAddr,
>sizeof(SocketInetAddr)) < 0)

You'll notice if you look carefully that "struct sockaddr" and "struct
sockaddr_in" are the same size and the "family" and "length" fields
overlap.

I'd strongly reccommend "Unix Network Programming", by Richard Stevens, as
a reference for networking programs like this.
