socket() returns error 10022

[DaveMo]

Hello,

I'm trying to run some older code that works fine on XP on Vista.

I am running the code from a command prompt running as Administrator.
The following is the code that is failing:

sockListen = socket (AF_INET, SOCK_STREAM, IPPROTO_TCP);
if (INVALID_SOCKET == sockListen) {
fprintf (stderr, "Failed to create socket: %u\n", GetLastError
());
return(FALSE);
}


This code returns error 10022 - Invalid Parameter.

Is there some special privilage needed in Vista to create a socket?
Some other problem maybe?

Thanks,
Dave

No admin rigths needed in Vista, maybe WSAStartup() disappeared , just a
hint. OTOH try to remove UAC and check in that case

Use 0 instead of IPPROTO_TCP as the third parameter in the socket call.

IPPROTO_TCP (defined as 6 in winsock2.h) has never worked for me.
This totally contradicts the Microsoft docs, but it was the only way for me
to get it work (on XP!).
