I've searched here, MSDN, and the web (even with the exact compiler error), but I can't find the answer... maybe it's just lost in the noise. Here's the exact error: error C2027: use o...

I am developing a Windows proxy program where two TCP sockets, connected through different adapters are bridged by my program. That is, my program reads from one socket and writes to the other, and vice versa. Each socket is handled by its own thread. When one socket reads data it is queued for the other socket to write it.
