Hi,everybody

You can use gcc to compile your client program, and run it within coLinux shell. But coLinuxs needs a virtual network adaptor driver to access network interface (or bridge) from Windows. You may read the wiki of coLinux or Blackfin. 

 I would suggest you install a native Linux on one partition of your PC, eg CentOS 4.4. It would be easier than coLinux for a newbie.
