Is this a problem or a solution?
If this is a solution, post it in the tips section.

Sounds like you missed the question out here!

Well, no. Don't post it in Tips yet, improve first. Why hard-coded port, hard-code array size and fixed-size character array (you already use string class), what is GetUserName? Maybe, this is indeed a question in such a form? Get user name from what?

Solution 1

DWORD nUserName = sizeof(acUserName);

Here must be;

DWORD nUserName = sizeof(acUserName) / sizeof(TCHAR);
