Embarresingly simple struct question

[Cromulent]

Okay here is the question, what is wrong with this?

typedef struct nntpServerInfo
{
char login[63];
char password[63];
char serverName[32];
int port;
} nntpServerInfo;

int nntpConnect(nnt pServerInfo *);

int nntpConnect(nnt pServerInfo *serverInfo)
{
/* Blah */
}

It gives me the following error:

error: expected ) before * token

which is odd because if I put the closing brace before the pointer star
thingy then it no longer declares the function as excepting a pointer
to a struct, it says it will actually take the whole struct by value
which is not what I want.

Any ideas? I've tried fiddling about with it and can't see what is
going on. It is probably something dead simple but I'll be damned if I
can see what. From what I have read it looks correct.

There is nothing obviously wrong with this fragment. So there's
probably something wrong somewhere else.

Give us the whole file, and the exact error message, including line
number. And tell us what compiler you're using, with what flags.

It gives me the following error:

Not the code above. It's fine. Your error is elsewhere.
