The data does not send over socket from client to the server

[ggwm]

Hello all.
I have no c++ skills, so please don't be harsh with me.
I have a client and server scripts. On the client I need to accept user's input and send it over to the server. Print it, then send it back to client and print again. Do that until the user types "quit". I've done as much as I can - I got to the point where the user can input data and it prints it on the client. But it doesn't get sent to the server. I think it has to do with the data type? The "value" variable is the user's input. I've done research and I know i'm supposed to be sending to the server and back. iresult is what i need to print. But it doesn't work because the data type is mismatched I think. What am I doing wrong?
I got the server script from here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winsock/complete-server-code
And the client here https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/winsock/complete-client-code
But here is what I modified already. Any help without mocking me would be greatly appriciated!

code tags help <> on the side editor, it makes large code readable.

I don't see anything wrong right off.
here is what I would do first: you said you lifted it from the web; did the originals work if you set them up for your IP addresses etc in the config?
If the original does not work, your modified won't either....
