Hard to say exactly, as you don't appear to have posted the complete compileable code that exhibits your problem.

You use wsaData in the line above. Where is it declared? Is it somewhere before main() is called, or does it exist in a header file somewhere that is (or is supposed to be) included by your program?

I came across the following code that you posted in a different thread. Here wsaData is declared in the line I've highlighted:

#include <winsock.h>
#include <wsipx.h>
#include <wsnwlink.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
////////////////
// Initialize windows sockets API.
//
WORD wVersionRequested = MAKEWORD(1, 1);
[B]WSADATA wsaData;[/B]
if (WSAStartup(wVersionRequested, &wsaData)) {

Compare that with your post in this thread.
