The error means that WSAStartup has not yet been called. And that means
that you must call WSAStartup before you try to create a socket. That's
what the message says. It's a Windows-specific problem that doesn't exist
on other systems.

These are generic C/C++/Windows programming problems, so this is not really
the right place to bring them up...
