It becoms because your windows.h include winsock.h, but CommonC++
include winsock2.h
For solving this problem update your Platform SDK (i try it on
Platform SDK 2000, and everything was be ok), or everywhere where you
include windows.h you must write:

#define _WINSOCKAPI_
#include <windows.h>

On the VC++ 7.1 (VS2003) this problems not appears.
