I am still using IBPP 2.2.2.3, but just downloaded beta 2.3.0.0 from sourceforge, and see what you see: Connected is missing.

However, the CVS tree on sourceforge has a new version of ibpp.h which does have the Connected method.

My suggestion: retrieve copies of the files from the CVS tree on Sourceforge and see if that works better. You can use the CVS web interface on SF rather than a full CVS client if that's easier for you.

HTH,

Dan.
