Mac used the opposite byte order to Windows. But is that still true for the iPhone? Since I am doing TCP-IP(WiFi) from Windows to an iPhone, what does the byte conversion mapping look like?

Network byte ordering (I mean IP, and therefore TCP too) is always big-endian: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endianness#Endianness_in_networking iPhone, like Windows, is little-endian: iPhone platform: endianness (detection & swapping) You have to take byte-ordering into account only if you analyze TCP/IP packet headers; packet payload will arrive in the same byte ordering, as it was sent.
