That's because they are the same error --- if the socket() call is
failing then the client is not getting as far as attempting to contact
the server, let alone checking the password. I do not know why you
are not getting a useful errno value; probably another deficiency of
the Windoze socket code :-(. But I'd suggest looking at whether
TCP support is turned on, whether there is a problem linking the socket
support library into the application, etc. Any Win experts here with
an idea what could make socket() fail?
