The license is paid already, and i'm aware of each aspect of each license / sublicense. Thanks anyway.

@franz: Yes QNetwork is linked. Also, in the linker error log, you can see that not only references to QNetwork functions are being referenced, basically any Qt function are.

Any idea?
Thank you very much

OK, so then you aren't really using Qt 4.7.1 Open Source, you're using it under a commercial license and static linking is just fine.

Make sure you don't have QT_DLL defined in both the MSVC compile or link settings, and make sure you use the same compile settings for all of the libraries and app code. Sounds like maybe QtNetwork has different settings, and it might be trying to drag in QtCore classes and methods with the wrong mangled names.
