sendto?

I'm trying to send some data over ethernet on the DE2-115, not files, just chunks of random data which I can encode into an IPv4 packet and I know I have to use the the sendto command. However I'm having trouble figuring out how to use it from the server example that comes with the DE2-115. I get that it's  

 

sendto(conn->fd, data, pkgLth, 0,(struct sockaddr *)&cliaddr,nLen); 

 

But all variables inside, conn, fd, data, pkgLth, etc... I'm not sure how to define in the context of my code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If You're trying only to send data, then use either ip_write() or udp_send()

sendto can be used to send data on udp or tcp sockets. Have a look at those examples (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/bsd_socket).

I tried using the code from Wikipedia however it doesn't seem to work. Nios recognizes my board and receives some connection bytes from my PC, however it never sends any data to my PC. I tried changing around the IP address to mine but that always failed. I appreciate your help, any other suggestions? 

 

So to give a bit more back history, I am starting with the web server example that comes with the DE2-115. And all that I'm doing is replacing the code in webs_server.c with the code above or other code I have found. I'm pretty certain by now that's not how I'm supposed to be doing this but I'm not sure how exactly to do it. 

 

Note: The console gives me this and always hangs after that point:
