#define TIMECAST_PORT  8910
stLclAddr.sin_family      = AF_INET;
stLclAddr.sin_addr.s_addr = htonl(INADDR_ANY);
stLclAddr.sin_port        = htons(TIMECAST_PORT);
nRet = bind(hSocket, 
    (struct sockaddr*) &stLclAddr, sizeof(stLclAddr));
if (nRet == SOCKET_ERROR) {
    printf ("bind() port: %d failed, Err: %d\n", nPort, WSAGetLastError());
}

Example 3: Name the socket (assign the local port number on which to receive).
